But Daddy I Love Him Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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
Clutching their pearls, sighing “what a mess”
I just learned these people try and save you ’cause they hate you

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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 he’s crazy, but he’s the one I want

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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 he’s crazy, but he’s the one I want

[Bridge]

I’ll tell you something right now
I’d rather burn my whole life down
Than listen to one more second of all this xxxxxing and moaning
I’ll tell you something about my good name
It’s mine alone to disgrace
I don’t care to all these vipers dressed in emperor’s clothing

God save the most judgemental 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
He’s my wild boy and I’m his wild joy
If all you want is grey for me
Then it’s just white noise, this is my choice

[Pre-Chorus]

There’s a lot of people in town that I
Bestow upon my fakest smiles
Scandal does funny things to pry 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 xxxx ’em, it’s over

[Chorus]

And 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?
I know you can’t come to the wedding
I know he’s crazy, but he’s the one I want

[Outro]

I’ll tell you something right now
You ain’t gotta pray for me
He’s my wild boy, and I’m his wild joy
-He was chaos, he was revelry-
If all you want is grey for me
Thatt’s just white noise, it’s my choice
Screaming, “But Daddy, I love him
I’m having his baby
No I’m not but you should see your faces”
But oh my god you should see your faces
