I have a princess made of glass
She’s beautiful beyond compare
I have a princess made of glass
Touch her if you dare

Leave fingerprints upon her skin
As you see, she doesn’t mind
Leave fingerprints upon her skin
Leave your DNA behind

She cannot move, she cannot feel
For she is made of glass
She cannot move, she cannot feel
Or she would break in half

Be careful with my princess
Do not let her fall
Be careful with my princess
For help she cannot call

My princess is a dainty thing
She can’t keep herself clean
My princess is a dainty thing
Please do not be mean

I am a young girl made of glass
Scared to make a move
I am a young girl made of glass
Please care enough to find the truth
