Daddy's Little Girl
Quietdrive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thought of making you go eat
Those words you said
To me, to me, to me
Watch you undress
You're hysterical
I might be giving you the money
Forgive me
Daddy's little girl
Doesn't like the way I talk
She's a spoiled little girl
Gonna have to cut her off
Because that's the way it goes
With a spoiled little girl
I don't know when love is real
Daddy's little girl
She's so nasty in the sack
She's a crazy little girl
Gonna have it coming back
Because that's the way it goes
With a spoiled little girl
I don't know why love is not enough
I wish that I was invisible
Maybe then you'd never see me run away
And I must confess
I feel terrible
But let's not listen to
Those voices inside of me
Daddy's little girl
Doesn't like the way I talk
She's a spoiled little girl
Gonna have to cut her off
Because that's the way it goes
With a spoiled little girl
I don't know when love is real
Daddy's little girl
She's so nasty in the sack
She's a crazy little girl
Gonna have it coming back
Because that's the way it goes
With a spoiled little girl
I don't know why love is not enough
A poster child of what we are
Your hand, your keys
Your brand new car
The love we share, the melody
The life you lead
Daddy's little girl
Daddy's little girl
Doesn't like the way I talk
She's a spoiled little girl
Gonna have to cut her off
Because that's the way it goes
With a spoiled little girl
I don't know when love is real
Daddy's little girl
She's so nasty in the sack
She's a crazy little girl
Gonna have it coming back
Because that's the way it goes
With a spoiled little girl
I don't know why love is not enough
Daddy's little girl
Throwing money all around
You had everything, girl
I hope I never see your face around this town
The lyrics to Quietdrive's song Daddy's Little Girl portray a dysfunctional relationship in which the singer expresses his mixed emotions towards a girl who is both spoiled and sexually adventurous. The song begins with the singer reminiscing about a time when he contemplated leaving the girl after a fight, but ultimately chose to forgive her. He then goes on to describe her as "nasty in the sack" and "crazy," while acknowledging that he doesn't understand why love isn't enough for them.
The chorus repeats the title phrase "Daddy's little girl," indicating that the girl is used to getting what she wants and may have a sense of entitlement. The singer suggests that he may need to cut her off because, "that's the way it goes with a spoiled little girl," further emphasizing the power dynamic in their relationship. The third verse mentions a "poster child" of their lifestyle, with the girl being the embodiment of the young, wealthy, and privileged.
Overall, the lyrics of Daddy's Little Girl are a commentary on the challenges of relationships with someone who is used to getting their way and is perhaps emotionally immature. The singer is conflicted about his feelings for this girl and ultimately seems to recognize that their dynamic is unsustainable.
