Loudon Wainwright III - Daughter Lyrics

Everything she sees, she says she wants
Everything she wants, I see she gets

That's my daughter in the water
Everything she owns, I bought her
Everything she owns

That's my daughter in the water
Everything she knows, I taught her
Everything she knows

Everything I say, she takes to heart
Everything she takes, she takes apart

That's my daughter in the water
Every time she fell, I caught her
Every time she fell

And that's my daughter in the water
I lost every time I fought her
Yeah, I lost every time

Every time she blinks, she'd strike somebody blind
Everything she thinks blows her tiny mind

That's my daughter in the water
Who'd have ever thought her?
Who'd have ever thought?

That's my daughter in the water
I lost every time I fought her
Yeah, I lost every time
