Daddy Dear
Are you hurting, daddy Dear?
Are you lonely and in fear?
Do you want to run and hide?
Are you feeling terrified?
No? Then wait,
I’m on my way,
There’s a debt I must repay,
Now that I am grown and strong,
Now that you’re the weaker one,
I’ll give you what you gave to me,
A life of total misery,
I’ll shout, I’ll swear, I’ll pull your hair,
I’ll beat you just for being there,
And just so food is not a pleasure,
I’ll fill it with pepper for good measure,
I’ll rent you out, a hired hand,
You’re nothing see, you understand,
And when he gets into your bed,
You’ll start to wish that you were dead.
But these things I’ll never do,
No matter how much I hate you,
Don’t worry cause I’ll stay away,
I’m not like you,
I’m glad to say.
