Steven Tyler said once that he wrote this song about a newspaper article that he read about a girl that was raped

I think this is a song about a girl who got abused (sexually, physically, and verbally) that she got tired of it and decided to end it, by getting a gun and shooting him in the head.

Well, if you read the lyrics, it tells you exactly what it means.
Things like "he jacked a little bitty baby" (referring to her father), and at the end of the song, you can hear the backup singing about "daddy's cradle rocking."

and the gun, "she had to take him down easy and put a bullet in his brain" so yeah, she shot him. B****** deserved it, if you want my opinion ^^.

I think this song is about a girl being raped by her Dad and she gets tired of being helpless so she stands up to him and kills him so she can end the pain, and it seems like she asked for help but no one believed her. The song also kinda states that the abuse had been going on for some time (itty bitty baby, cradle-robbing, etc...) Go Janie!!!!!

I think this song is about a young woman who gets raped by her father, but no one believes her story, so she kills her father. This song actually remindsme of Nate Ybanez, a teenager who killed his mother. His parents were abusive, but no one listened to Nate, so Nate snapped and murdered hismother. So for this female protagonist, killing her rapist is the only way to, in the words of the song, "run away from the pain."

We all pretty much agree, that this is a song about a girl who was sexually abused by her father, Steve Tyler and Joe Perry said so themselves. I think it's a serious subject for a band like Aerosmith to go on about considering their other stuff.

She gets a gun to end her pain, but I really don't know what she does with it, either commit sucide or kill her father.

The meaning is obvious,just thought I would let you know its not the first time Aerosmith wrote a song like that.Go back to Toys in the Attic,and listen to Uncle Salty.

This song is about a girl who is sexually abused by her father, and no one believes her. This is a very controversial song, because of the time it was released. When this song first aired the topic of rape and abuse was not something that people normally talked about. So to have a song out on the airwave was a real eye-opener.
