Daddy Lessons
Riverdale Cast Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Came into this world
Daddy's little girl
And daddy made a soldier out of me
Ooh
Daddy made me dance
And daddy held my hand
And daddy liked his whiskey with his tea
And we rode motorcycles
Blackjack, classic vinyl
Tough girl is what I had to be

He said, take care of your mother
Watch out for your sister
That's when daddy looked at me

With his gun, with his head held high
He told me not to cry
Oh, my daddy said shoot
Oh, my daddy said shoot
With his right hand on his rifle
He swore it on the bible
Oh, my daddy said shoot
Oh, my daddy said shoot
He held me in his arms
And he taught me to be strong
He told me when he's gone
Here's what you do
Ooh
When trouble comes to town
And men like me come around
Oh, my daddy said shoot
Oh, my daddy said shoot
Ooh

Daddy made me fight
It wasn't always right
But he said, girl, it's your second amendment
He always played it cool
But daddy was no fool
And right before he died he said, "remember"

He said, take care of your mother
Watch out for your sister
That's when daddy looked at me

With his gun, with his head held high
He told me not to cry
Oh, my daddy said shoot
Oh, my daddy said shoot
With his right hand on his rifle
He swore it on the bible
Oh, my daddy said shoot
Oh, my daddy said shoot
He held me in his arms
And he taught me to be strong
He told me when he's gone
Here's what you do
Ooh
When trouble comes to town
And men like me come around
Oh, my daddy said shoot
Oh, my daddy said shoot
Ooh

My daddy warned me about men like you
He said, baby girl, he's playing you
He's playing you
My daddy warned me about men like you
He said, baby girl, he's playing you
He's playing you

He held me in his arms
And he taught me to be strong
He told me when he's gone
Here's what you do
When trouble comes to town
And men like me come around




Oh, my daddy said shoot
Oh, my daddy said shoot
