Daddy was never there
With a crooked smile never really cared, oh well
She’s such a beautiful girl
Afraid to speak so she read instead
Thinking do I look like the magazine said I should
Am I a beautiful girl

So where is my angel
Has she climbed out the window

Is she waving or drowning
With a broken heart tied around her neck
Is she waving or drowning
With a broken heart she's drifting away
There’s a star in the sky in the city
She sleeps tonight, she’ll be alright, oh yeah
She’s such a beautiful girl

Hair dyed black with a tear in her eye
As she took off with that guy who said
She’s such a beautiful girl
Now all she wants is to go home
Left with nothing but a bloody nose, oh well
She was a beautiful girl

(chorus)

She's a latchkey princess, latchkey princess

(chorus)

And now she’s drifting away
She’s such a beautiful girl
