But Daddy I Love Him

I forget how the west was won
I forget if this was ever fun
I just learned these people only raise you
To cage you
Sarahs and Hannahs in their Sunday best
Clutchin’ their pearls sighing, “What a mess”
I just learned these people try and save you
‘Cause they hate you

Too high a horse for a simple girl
To rise above it
They slammed the door on my whole world
The one thing I wanted

• Veja a tradução de But Daddy I Love Him

Now I’m running with my dress unbuttoned
Scrеamin’, “But, daddy, I love him”
I’m having his baby
No, I’m not, but you should see your faces
I’m telling him to floor it through thе fences
No, I’m not coming to my senses
I know it’s crazy
But he’s the one I want

Dutiful daughter, all my plans were laid
Tendrils tucked into a woven braid
Growing up precocious sometimes means not growing up at all
He was chaos, he was revelry
Bedroom eyes like a remedy
Soon enough the elders had convened down at the city hall

“Stay away from her,” the saboteurs
Protested too much
Lord knows the words we never heard
Just screeching tires of true love

And I’m running with my dress unbuttoned
Screaming, “But daddy I love him”
I’m having his baby
No, I’m not, but you should see your faces
I’m telling him to floor it through the fences
No, I’m not coming to my senses
I know it’s crazy
But he’s the one I want
I’ll tell you something right now
I’d rather burn my whole life down
Than listen to one more second of all this bitchin’ and moanin’
I’ll tell you something ‘bout my good name
It’s mine alone to disgrace
I don’t cater to all these vipers dressed in empath’s clothing

God save the most judgmental creeps
Who say they want what’s best for me
Sanctimoniously performing soliloquies I’ll never see
Thinking it can change the beat of my heart when he touches me
And counteract the chemistry
And undo the destiny
You ain’t gotta pray for me
Me and my wild boy, and all of this wild joy
If all you want is gray for me
Then it’s just white noise, then it’s just my choice

There’s a lot of people in town that I bestow upon my fakest smiles
Scandal does funny things to pride but brings lovers closer
We came back when the heat died down
Went to my parents and they came around
All the wine moms are still holding out
But fuck ‘em, it’s over

Now I’m dancing in my dress in the sun and
Even my daddy just loves him
I’m his lady
And oh my God, you should see your faces
Time, doesn’t it give some perspective
And no, you can’t come to the wedding
I know it’s crazy, but he’s the one I love
I’ll tell you something right now
You ain’t gotta pray for me
Me and my wild boy, and all of this wild joy
(It was chaos, it was revelry)
If all you want is gray for me
Then it’s just white noise, it’s my choice

Screamin’, “But, daddy, I love him”
I’m having his baby
No, I’m not
But you should see your faces
And oh my God, you should see your faces
It was chaos, it was revelry
