Composers: S. Vega~S. Reynolds~N. Strong

Daddy’s little girl
But not the girl that daddy knew
Daddy never had a clue
Of what his little girl would do
A drifter, swift to open up and get wit’ ya
A pocket full of dreams, as for my love, forget ya
I never concentrated on the fact that I’m loved
Scheme for scheme and things that would lead me to a pipe dream
Picture it, yes, I’m daddy’s little girl
I never asked for nothin’, now it’s a string of pearls
My chances are thin, could I win with a substance
A princess with a smile, but my sweetness was sort of grim
I never thought the feelin’ that I had to be wild
‘Cause in my mind I was a mature child
But I couldn’t hook daddy, I played the role
But on the same tip, I was massagin’ his soul
Nikki had to be free, you see I had to be me
Her life just wouldn’t flow through correctly

I’m daddy’s little girl
(What daddy don’t know won’t hurt him)
But I’m daddy’s little girl
(What daddy don’t know won’t hurt him)

Daddy’s little girl
(What daddy don’t know won’t hurt him)
Daddy’s little girl
(What daddy don’t know)

{Here comes the music}

Daddy always tucked me in bed and kissed me goodnight
Said, “Nikki, sleep tight,” then turn off the light
And when he goes away on a business trip
I flip, lose my grip, party time (Aw, s***)
I tell the girls, split the duty, one go pick up the booze
My other half, move your a** and go spread the news
The party went on, lasted all night long
Song after song (To the break of dawn)
Then watch some nasty porns in the morn, my body got warm
Hmm, from gettin’ freaky before
Sexin’ like crazy, my body amazed me
By takin’ a chance with a man that didn’t phase me
A night so hectic, a bit unexpected
Before I made love, I should have been protected
‘Cause now I’m in a jam with this careless punk
And in about three months, my stomach will be plump
Trouble, yes, I’m in the hot seat now
Tell my pops, huh, no way, no how
It’ll break his heart, wreck his whole world
To have to grow up quick

Daddy’s little girl
(What daddy don’t know won’t hurt him)
Daddy’s little girl
(What daddy don’t know won’t hurt him)

But I’m daddy’s little girl
(What daddy don’t know won’t hurt him)
Daddy’s little girl
(What daddy don’t know)

{Here we go}

Neighbors asked could he trust me, yeah, daddy loves me
‘Cause I could feel it in his arms, strong when he hugs me
But there comes a time when his angel must spread her wings
So I bow my head and get deep into the swing of things
Sort of raunchy, I must be ‘cause mama knew
Every time I skip school, mama sat home and sang the blues
Now I regret the day that daddy let me out to play
But I’m a woman now, so let’s keep it this way

I’m daddy’s little girl
(What daddy don’t know won’t hurt him)
But I’m daddy’s little girl
(What daddy don’t know won’t hurt him)

Daddy’s little girl
(What daddy don’t know won’t hurt him)
Daddy’s little girl
(What daddy don’t know)

{Here comes the music}

{Here we go}
