"And why is it charming
Try to act sixteen all your life
I feel our love has died
And she replies, "Daddy's little girl's a precocious child
I've got no one else to compare you to"
Eager to fulfill all of Daddy's needs"
I love to please, I'll do anything that you ask of me
Why can't I grow up with dignity, set me free?"
Oh, I much preferred you as a child"
"Baby," he says, "Now that you're older
'Cause you accept everything I say and do"
"And as you grow older
I have no past, no one else has done to me what you do
Once upon a time you never criticized me
You're easier to please and you never give me grief
And I reply, "Everything you said to me was a lie
I know your kind, you just want a daughter without a wife
"Baby," he says, "I can never love older girls like I love you
Old women grow bitter
Pretending I'm younger than my years?
Is like the fountain of youth to my old bones"
And she replies, "I'm in no position to make demands
Don't let that happen to you"
