Lyrics[]
Italics= DFG
Thought you were Prince Charming...
I was so happy
To see my little girl in love
Even if it was a guy she showed a picture of
It felt like
Things were finally looking up
After failing at friends and school made her a grown-up
She was so excited to meet him and greet him
With a Comment Allez-Vous
I thought you were Prince Charming
But looks can be deceiving
Don't know what my head was making up
I thought you were Prince Charming
But looks can be deceiving
Dumb of me to think you gave a fuck
Thought it was gonna be
A nice little meet and greet
You were selling me bullshit by the pound
Pushed me in your bed
And drowned me in the sheets
When I tried to move, you held me down
She was so excited to meet him and greet him
With a Comment Allez-Vous
I thought you were Prince Charming
But looks can be deceiving
Don't know what my head was making up
I thought you were Prince Charming
But looks can be deceiving
Dumb of me to think you gave a fuck
I thought you were Prince Charming
But looks can be deceiving
Don't know what my head was making up
I thought you were Prince Charming
But looks can be deceiving
'Dumb of me to think you gave a fuck'
Music Video[]
In the music video, Sophia is scrolling through a dating app when a message pops up that says "Perfect Match!". The person's name is Prince Charming. Sophia chats with him and seems to be enjoying herself. She arranges to meet him in real life, then instead of an actual rape scene, Prince Charming hits Sophia with a baseball bat while they're both wearing very revealing outfits. Then it cuts to Sophia singing the last chorus.
