• Daddy, daddy why so sad?
    I didn't know it would make mommy mad.
    You told me not to tell her about when you held me at night
    Mommy would be sad that's why you left off the light
    The teachers tell me to never tell lies
    So daddy I can't just close my eyes
    I'm always afraid when you come in my room
    Even when you say this is how all little girls bloom
    Daddy, daddy don't be hurt!
    Your the one who ripped my favorite skirt
    I told mommy the doggy ripped it up
    And she yelled so loud and at cute little pup
    She asked me why I wear sweaters in summer
    "You're not feeling good to swim, that's a bummer"
    I like the water and swimming all day
    But I can't when you love me this way.
    Daddy, daddy I'm growing up so fast
    How long does this have to last
    When I locked my door at night you screamed at me
    I have to wear lots of make-up to school and say sorry
    Daddy, Daddy there is a boy at school I like so much
    Why is it so bad when my hand he likes to touch
    Why don't you want him coming to take me to the dance
    Daddy, Daddy I really think this could be my chance
    Please Daddy stop yelling like that
    It's not his fault the tire went flat!
    Please don't say that prince charming has to leave
    Can't you see without him I greave
    Daddy, Daddy why are you doing this again
    I thought when mommy left it all would end
    Why are you standing in my doorway with that look on your face
    Why do You have to show me my place
    Daddy, Daddy Let me go I don't like you anymore
    Why do you tell me that I'm a whore
    You slap my face and make me cry
    Daddy, Daddy please don't lie
    When I'm eighteen I'm going to run away
    And to you I'll have nothing left to say.

    (For all the girls with Dads like mine)
