[Suzanne Vega] (Da-da-da-da-da-da)

He-he-he-ha-ha-ha...



[VERSE 1]

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 with 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 fought the feelin that I had to be wild

Cause in my mind I was a mature child

But I could't hurt daddy, I played the role

But on the sneak tip, I was massagin his soul

Nikki had to be free, you see, I had to be me

Or life just wouldn't flow through correctly

Being daddy's little girl



(What daddy don't know won't hurt him)

But I'm daddy's little girl



[VERSE 2]

Daddy'd always tuck me in bed and kiss 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 - ah shit!

Tell the girls, split the duty, one go pick up the booze

My other half, move your ass 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 with Vaughn

Sexin like crazy, my body amazed me

By takin a chance with a man that didn't faze me

A night so hectic, a bit unexpected

Before I made love, I shoulda been protected

Cause now I'm in a jam with this careless punk

And in about 3 months my stomach will be plump

Trouble, yes, I'm in the hot seat now

Tell my pops? 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)

But I'm daddy's little girl



[VERSE 3]

Neighbors asked could he trust me, yeah, daddy loves me

Cause I can 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 skipped 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

Daddy's little girl



(What daddy don't know won't hurt him)

But I'm daddy's little girl
