Daddy's Girl
Bamboozle Lyrics

Well my Daddy he bought me a brand new Cadillac,
My father bought me a luxurious car, but I drove it recklessly and crashed it off the road.

And I went out dragging and I rode it right off the track
I drove the car speeding, and it veered off the track leading to an accident.

When I get home through my front door
Upon returning home from the accident, I enter through the front door.

I may not be Daddy's girl no more
I might have lost my father's affection after the accident and damaging his gift.

My Daddy he bought me a brand new Cadillac
My father presented me with a new Cadillac car that I carelessly displaced.

(Cos she's a) Daddy's girl
I am attached to my father and derive my sense of identity from him.

Yeah, I'm a Daddy's girl
I am the epitome of a daughter that enjoys her father's buying and believes his opinion unquestionable.

And there ain't no way I'm gonna do what I'm told
I am a headstrong daughter and will not follow my father's rules and instructions.

He says I've gotta be in by seven
My father restricts my movements and wants me back home before 7 pm.

But I never show my face til way gone eleven
I don't follow my father's time regulations and show up late around 11 pm.

But no matter what I do, I'll always be my Daddy's Girl
Regardless of my behavior and rebellion, I am forever bound to the father-daughter love and connection.

Well my Daddy he bought me a brand new string of pearls
My father showered me with fine pearls to express his love and make me feel unique.

Just to show his baby that she ain't like the other girls
My father wants me to know that I am distinctive and stand out from other girls.

Well I played my hand in a game of poker
I took part in a poker game as a player.

And I lost that chain to some low down joker
I gambled my precious pearls and lost them to a cunning player.

My Daddy he bought me a brand new string of pearls
My father replaced my pearl string set lost in the poker game.

(Cos she's a) Daddy's girl
I take pride in the love and attention I get from my father.

Yeah, I'm a Daddy's girl
I revel in my relationship with my father and love boasting about it.

And there ain't no way I'm gonna do what I'm told
I won't let my father's directives and controls guide or rein me in.

He says don't you get in no fights
My father warns me against picking fights and aggression.

But I lose my cool most every night
But I get worked up frequently and often pick fights.

But no matter what I do, I'll always be my Daddy's Girl
Regardless of my actions and rebellious tendencies, I know I will always be the daughter he loves.

Well my Daddy he told me to find myself a man
My father encourages me to locate a suitable male partner.

A clean-cut boy that'll do the best he can
He hopes that I find a decent and well-behaved man who will treat me well.

So I brought Billy home at the break of dawn
But I chose Billy, who I brought home early in the morning.

With a big black eye and his shirt all torn
Billy was bruised with a black eye and wearing torn clothes.

My Daddy he told me to find myself a man
My father insists that I seek out a man who can take care of me.

(Cos she's a) Daddy's girl
I am the daddy's little girl who goes against my father's wishes and follows my heart.

Yeah, I'm a Daddy's girl
I cling to my father's love and values more than anyone else's.

And there ain't no way I'm gonna do a thing I'm told
I will always stand up for myself and follow my intuition, even if my father insists otherwise.

He says I've gotta keep my face all clean
My father imposes good hygiene practices and wants me to look clean and presentable.

But I tell my Daddy that just ain't my scene
But I tell him that I don't like to care much about my appearance.

But no matter what I do, I'll always be my Daddy's Girl.
But my father's love never wanes and remains constant, regardless of the choices I make in life.
