I am a Princess And I am a Prince Mum says I'm an angel Mum says I'm an angel Mum says I'm an angel So you think you're able (A-ble) To survive this mess by being a Prince or a Princess (B-ing) You will soon see (C) There's no escaping tragedy (trage-D) And even (E-ven) If you put in heaps of effort (F-ort) You're just wasting energy (ener-G) 'Cause your life as you know it is ancient history (H-ent) I, have suffered in this jail (I and J-l) I've been trapped inside this cage for ages (K-ge) This living 'ell (L) But if I try I can remember (rem-M-ber) Back before my life had ended (N-ded) Before my happy days were over (O-ver) Before I first heard the pealing of the bell (P-ling) Like you I was curious (Q-rious) So innocent I asked a thousand questions (R-sked) But unless you want to suffer listen up (unl-S) And I will teach you, a thing or two (T-ch) You listen here, my dear (U) You'll be punished so severely (se-Vre-ly) If you step out of line, and if you cry, it will be double, you should stay out of trouble (W) And remember to be extremely careful (X-tremely) Why?
