(Verse one) I wake up early morning feeling sleepy Rub my eyes that seem to be weepy Someone's moving through my room Curtains open, light kills the gloom "it's another beautiful day", I hear a young woman say Swing my legs over the side She's smiling with a touch of pride. Why does she look just like a maid it's seems clear that she's my aide To the bathroom, she helps me wash My protests she does quash To the bedroom she leads me next To a dress of design complex "Does this suit you your Highness?" I'm confused Me, a Princess, I'm bemused Dressed in my finary rich and pink Just slow this down I just need to think (Chorus) I'm a Princess how did this happen? It's wonderful but I can't trust it My dresses are beautiful Just like I've always wanted They make me feel pretty So much a Princess I'm a Princess Yes me A Princess (Verse two) I go about my day, directed what to do I feel like I'm being led so it's all on cue I don't feel like I'm being used But they're teaching me, I'm being approved Though one engagement then onto the next My day is busy, full of checks Is this room ready? What about the next? It's hard work. The day is long But I'm happy, feeling strong Tomorrow is a special dance In my honour is my greatest chance Find a Prince, we'll wait and see Or maybe a Princess to be with me? I'm excited for what may be But I'm feeling tired but still care free Time to sleep, I'm confused again What will tomorrow morning bring (Bridge) The transitions in the night Seems like my world may take to flight In the morning what will be? But for now it's clear too me (Chorus) I'm a Princess how did this happen? It's wonderful but I can't trust it My dresses are beautiful Just like I've always wanted They make me feel pretty So much a Princess I'm a Princess Yes me A Princess (Verse three) I wake up early morning feeling sleepy Rub my eyes that seem to be weepy There's not a sound in my room Curtains closed, full of gloom I get up, wonder where my maid is Open the curtains and take it in. There's no maid There's no pretty dresses Hanging on a nail is the only dress It's worn out, torn and tattered And I realise this is my real life There's a picture on the wall Of a Princess in a ball gown She looks like she's smiling at me Her dress looks like the rags and tatters When it was new it would have been special Is it a dream or a place to go to When I'm dreaming and getting desperate? What ever my life I've decided (Chorus) I'm a Princess how did this happen? It's wonderful but I can't trust it My dresses are beautiful Just like I've always wanted They make me feel pretty So much a Princess I'm a Princess Yes me A Princess A Princess (Outro) I'm a Princess what ever life In the palace or in hovel In my mind I am a Princess In my mind I am a Princess Can't take that away from me So much a Princess I'm pretty with or without the dresses A Princess A Princess Always a Princess
