Traveling through the world from sea to sea
He became a fixture in polite society
A wife and a mistress can only last so long
Was time for all the kids to get moving on
A few months later she was living alone
Stranded in the States in a foster home
And she could only dream of what a better life
Could ever mean, could ever mean
Oh yeah, she could only dream of what a better life
Could ever mean, could ever mean
She is the Admiral's daughter
Ready to take her orders
She is the Admiral's daughter
Ready to take her orders
At twenty one she lived with great stress and fear
Wondering if the world held a man for her
Working all day from seven to five
Was the only way to keep herself and brother alive
Paycheck to paycheck and little means
Makes loneliness a chronic disease
She could only dream of what a better life
Could ever mean, could ever mean
Oh yeah, she could only dream of what a better life
Could ever mean, could ever mean
She is the Admiral's daughter
Ready to take her orders
She is the Admiral's daughter
Ready to take her orders
Now he has a new family and trophy wife
He enjoys the trappings of an officer's life
With his medals and his lofty career
Every other year he writes a letter to her
And though he's taught her beauty, grace and style
Know that he will never walk her down the aisle
She could only dream of what a better life
Could ever mean, could ever mean
Do you hear me
She could only dream of what a better life
Could ever mean, could ever mean
Say it, say it
She could only dream of what a better life
Could ever mean, ever mean
She is the Admiral's Daughter
Ready to take her orders
She is the Admiral's Daughter
Ready to take her orders
She is the Admiral's Daughter yeah
Ready to take her orders
She is the Admiral's Daughter
Ready to take her orders
