a torrid subject, to be sure! i feel awful after reading about it; it is like bad news in the papers.

i like how the second verse nicely foretells of daddy's exploits in the third verse. and then it leads me to think that maybe she is fulfilling her own destiny?
if the second verse is what Mummy sings, i think quotes may help.
also, i don't think the last two lines are required. perhaps try changing "Princess" to another word that would convey his infidelity by definition [hint: ends with "-ess"]. the fact that he is buying the flowers means he will do this again, hence the last two lines become superfluous.

well written...
