Lyrics Butterfly Tattoo - Lauren Briant

She said my daddy's gonna kill me if my momma doesn't first.
How much does it cost?
How bad's it gonna hurt?
Her friend said fifty dollars,
Trust me, you won't feel a thing.
So she held her breath and they drew her wings.

She got a butterfly tattoo
Now the whole world
Can finally see she's not a little girl.
Nothin says I'm eighteen and breakin loose
Like a rainbow colored Butterfly Tattoo

First thing she did was call her sister, said
I didn't chicken out
Twenty minutes later, word had spread all over town
From the court house to the car wash
Beauty shop and diner too,
The preacher called her Daddy but he already knew.

She got a butterfly tattoo
Now the whole world
Can finally see she's not a little girl.
Nothin says I'm eighteen and breakin loose
Like a rainbow colored Butterfly Tattoo

When she pulled in the drive
They were waitin on the porch.
Her daddy cracked a grin, he couldn't hold back anymore.
Momma said "I think it's cool and I've always wanted one"
So that Saturday, just for fun,
She got a Butterfly Tattoo, a Butterfly Tattoo.
Nothing says I'm 45, and feel 22
Like a rainbow colored Butterfly Tattoo.
Nothin says I'm eighteen and breakin loose
Like a rainbow colored Butterfly Tattoo!!
