Daughter Songtext

von Loudon Wainwright III

Everything she sees
She says she wants
Everything she wants
I see she gets

That's my daughter in the water
Everything she owns, I bought her
Everything she owns

That's my daughter in the water
Everything she knows, I taught her
Everything she knows

Everything I say
She takes to heart
Everything she takes
She takes apart

That's my daughter in the water
Everytime she fell, I caught her
Everytime she fell

That's my daughter in the water
I lost every time I fought her
Yeah, I lost every time

Everytime she blinks
She strikes somebody blind
Everything she thinks
Blows her tiny mind

That's my daughter in the water
Who'd have ever thought her?
Who'd have ever thought?

That's my daughter in the water
I lost every time I fought her
Yeah, I lost every time
