Lyrics Daughter (Live from Los Angeles) - Brandy Clark

Now, the first time that we played this song we′re gonna play was right here
And, um, I, I never played it live before
And kinda discounted it, you know
I didn't, I didn′t know that it would be
It would go over quite as well as it did that night
And, and it made it so we added it to the full band set
And, uh, it's a crowd favorite
We even have a t-shirt now that has its, has the hook on it
And, uh, I like to say that, you know
I've written a few revenge songs in my career
And, and uh, but this one is my favorite because it′s not about blowing shit up
Or slashing tires or anything like that
It′s a kinder, sweeter, longer-lasting sort of revenge

When you broke my heart
I wanted to cut the brakeline on your four-wheel drive
And poison your Pabst Blue Ribbon
When you drug my name all through the mud
I was dying to do the same, but I held my tongue
'Cause that ain′t Christian
And you might be laughing now
But what goes around comes around

So I hope you have a daughter, and I hope that she's a fox
Daddy′s little girl, just as sweet as she is hot
She can't help but love them boys
Who love to love and leave them girls just like her father
Yeah, karma′s a bitch, so I hope you have a daughter

When them boys pick her up wearing cheap cologne
Younger versions of yourself so you'll know when they drive off
What they're thinking
You had some real good lines, and they will too
I bet you′ll have a come-to-Jesus when they′re being used on your baby
And you'll want to kick their ass, but hey pot, that kettle′s black

So I hope you have a daughter, and I hope that she's a fox
You get a little grayer every time you hear a knock
She can′t help but love them boys
Who love to love and leave them girls just like her father
Yeah, karma's a bitch, so I hope you have a daughter

Yeah, it kind of makes me sad
That she′ll be the one to get you back

So I hope you have a daughter, and I hope that she's a fox
Daddy's little girl, just as sweet as she is hot
She can′t help but love them boys
Who love to love and leave them girls just like her father
Yeah, karma′s a bitch, so I hope you have a daughter
You son-of-a-bitch, I hope you have a daughter

Thank you
