Verse 1:
Little girl sleeping in dreams of peace, Mommy's been gone a long time, Daddy comes home and she still sleeps, Waiting for the world's worst crime.
Am And he comes up the stairs like he always does, Em And he never turns on the light, Am And she's wide awake, scared to death, C She smells his lust and she smells his sweat Am Curled in a ball she holds her breath G Praying to a God that she's never met
Chorus: Em D Am Don't let daddy kiss me, Em D C Don't let daddy kiss me Em Good night
Verse 2: Em Little girl lies by her daddy's side Em And she listens to him breathe Em She knows there's something awful wrong Em That she's far too young to see Em Am And she knows she can't tell anyone Em She's so full of guilt and shame, Am And if she tells she'll be all alone C They'd steal her daddy and they'd steal her home Am And it's not so bad when daddy leaves her alone C Praying to her God with his heart of stone
Em D Am Don't let daddy kiss me, Em D C Don't let daddy kiss me Em Good night
