Not The First Time

Were you someone’s princess before you lost your crown?

So, is that the reason you had to bring me down?

My poor little princess do I detect a frown?

It’s alright Baby not the first time I’ve been a clown,

Yes you told me of your baggage that you carry around

The tears that leave your eyelids without a sound

All the men who used you like hungry hounds

Is this why you destroyed the love that you finally found?

Tell me little Princess are you happier now?

If nobody really loves you do you wonder how?

No prince or suitor who will give you a bow

So how does it feel now to be a sacred cow?

Were you someone’s princess before you lost your crown?

So, is that the reason you had to bring me down?

My poor little princess do I detect a frown?

It’s alright Baby not the first time I’ve been a clown,

Wait little princess don’t you leave in such haste

We both drank of the poison we had our taste

Remembering my hands upon your little waist

Reminding me love can be hemlock laced,

You go through life like a stubborn little child

Unwanted by your parents and you were defiled

Is this why all the good men are usually reviled?

Making you the judge of all you’re so self-styled,

Were you someone’s princess before you lost your crown?

So, is that the reason you had to bring me down?

My poor little princess do I detect a frown?

It’s alright Baby not the first time I’ve been a clown.
