Latch Key Princess Lyrics

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 magazines 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 smile tie aroung he neck
Is she waving or drowning?
With a broken smile 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
She's such a beautiful girl

Hair dyed blach with a tear in her eye
As she took off with the 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

Is she waving or drowning?
With a broken smile tie aroung he neck
Is she waving or drowning?
With a broken smile 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
She's such a beautiful girl

She's a latch key princess
She's a latch key princess
A latch key princess
She's a latch key princess

Is she waving or drowning?
With a broken smile tie aroung he neck
Is she waving or drowning?
With a broken smile 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
She's such a beautiful girl

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
She's such a beautiful girl

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

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

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Awesome song, sounds like a girl left at home obviously a latchkey kid, and lacks that attention of feeling like daddys pretty lil girl.
