But Daddy I Love Him (Radio Edit)

[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

Clutchin' 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]

Now I'm runnin' with my dress unbuttoned

Scrеamin', "But, Daddy, I love him"

I'm havin' his baby

No, I'm not, but you should see your faces

I'm tellin' him to floor it through thе 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

Growin' up precocious sometimes means

Not growin' 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 runnin' with my dress unbuttoned

Screamin', "But, Daddy, I love him"

I'm havin' his baby

No, I'm not, but you should see your faces

I'm tellin' 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

[Post-Chorus]

I'll tell you something right now

I'd rather burn my whole life down

Than listen to one more second of all this gripin' 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

[Bridge]

God save the most judgmental creeps

Who say they want what's best for me

Sanctimoniously performing soliloquies I'll never see

Thinkin' 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, and it's just my choice

[Verse 3]

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 holdin' out, but, it's over

[Chorus]

Now I'm dancin' 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 want

[Post-Chorus]

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

(He was chaos, he was revelry)

If all you want is gray for me

Then it's just white noise, and it's my choice

[Outro]

Screamin', "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

(He was chaos, he was revelry)

(He was chaos, he was revelry)
