Daddy’s Little Girl Lyrics:

On the day I turned 13
He put 12 candles in my cake
Said it’s all that I could find
Guess you have to stay this way
I just said okay
It’s gettin easy to roll my eyes
But deep down I don’t mean it
I know that he wants to freeze time
but that’s just some make-believing
cause that clock is speeding up and

Chorus

Time don’t wait for no body
And that’s just fine by me
I’m older now wanna figure out the ways of this old world
Aint no need to worry
I ain’t in a hurry
To go from Barbie jeeps to shotgun seats in a Cowboy’s
beat up ford
He may still see me
In pigtails and curls
I don’t mind, I’m just fine being
Daddy’s little girl
