The Dry Heathens - Her Daddy Hates Me Lyrics

Her daddy hates me
But he ain't really her daddy
From the time she was a baby
You would have sworn she was an angel
So that now I'm thinking maybe
I should put away the bottle
'Cause it sure as hell can't save me
And I don't wanna be just like her daddy was

Her mama told me
That she'd always been a good girl
Until she dropped out of high school
And her new crowd was up to no good
And she tried so hard to be cool
Which meant no more church on Sundays
And then breaking every goddamn rule
That her daddy tanned into her hide

I ain't no hero
I ain't no Romeo
I'm just a cameo
In her little head
Just for a little while

I tried to tell her
How much I still cared about her
But I guess that she knew better
'Cause I'm stuck here now without her
I guess that I can't blame her
If the taste it left was bitter
And I still got that old bottle
Just to serve as a reminder, yeah
