Man, I envy girls like that
And by envy I mean pity
Get what they want in three seconds flat
With a bashful flash of pretty
And everybody's all hypnotized, so hypnotized
By the little display
And, oh, I'm not surprised, no, not surprised
See it every day of my life
And I'm playing the whore and the wife
And that's fine, hey
I don't wanna play the princess anyway
I don't wanna play the princess anyway
I don't wanna play the princess anyway
I will not blend into a crowd
I will not play it by the book
If I wail and yell and shout real loud
It's just so you know where to look
Other girls' are all scandalized, all scandalized
By the way that I act
And, oh, I'm not surprised, so no not surprised
That they don't get the fact that for them
It's easy to hike up the hem
But for me, I gotta be good
And please let it be understood
That even if I could
I wouldn't wanna play the princess, anyway
I don't wanna play the princess anyway
I don't wanna play the princess anyway
Man, I envy girls like that
Confidence is not a skill I learned
They get what they want cuz they go to bat
So what they get is always earned
There's no disguise, there's no disguise
They just are who they are and, yeah
It's no surprise, it's no surprise
When they get pretty far playing rough
And I kinda wish I was that tough
I mean, I'm fine, hey, but I don't wanna play the princess every day
I mean, I'd do it as a joke
Because I'm sick of ivory towers
My voice don't soothe it can only provoke
And I'm allergic to flowers
Bet she's not allergic to flowers
And everybody's all hypnotized, so hypnotized
By their killer display
And, oh, I'm not surprised, so not surprised
See it every day and, oh,
I'm hypnotized, so hypnotized
That as much I do hate to say
I think that it's sorta ok
If she wants to be that way
Cuz inevitably, you see
Someone's got be the princess in the play
Someone's got play the princess anyway
Someone's got play the princess anyway
Someone's got play the princess anyway
Someone's got play the princess anyway
