Daddy’s Li’l Girl Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I have no desire, I can't feel a thing
I just want to make him happy

[Chorus]
Daddy's little girl
Daddy's little girl
Daddy's girl don't wanna be
His whore no more


[Post-Chorus]
Food, shelter, love

[Verse 2]
I need to hold my tongue
I need to hold my tongue
I need to hold my tongue
I need to hold my tongue

[Chorus]
Didn't know I'd have to lose so much
For Daddy's love
Didn't know I'd have to lose myself
For Daddy's touch

[Bridge]
Listen
Listen
Listen
Listen
[Chorus]
Daddy has something to say
He has something for you to do
And he wants it done right now
And he wants you to do it his way

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Off Bikini Kill’s first release, the [Revolution Girl Style Now cassette].

In an interview with Mark Anderson, singer Kathleen Hanna said:

I’ve had so many people come to me with stories of sexual abuse and being battered by their parents. People talking about sexual abuse and getting beat up and emotional abuse in their houses is so important, and making bands around that issue is, to me, the new punk rock–can be the new punk rock. And I want to encourage people…to break their silence. I’m really interested in a punk rock movement–an angry girl movement–of sexual abuse survivors…I seriously believe that the majority of people in this country have stories to tell that they aren’t telling for some reason. I mean, with all that energy and anger, if we could unify it in some way–"
