Daddy's Money - David Wilcox

Look what Daddy bought her for her birthday

Well it’s idling beside me at the light

And Sweet Sixteen is fussing in her rearview mirror

Making sure her hairdo looks alright

Well it’s my favorite form of stoplight entertainment

Watch what happens when I try to make her smile

You can tell just by the way that she accelerates

She’s trying to tell me that I’m not her style

'Cause, She’s Got Daddy’s money

Daddy’s Money

Daddy’s Money holds her hand

She ain’t got no back bone

But she’s strong enough to stand

Daddy’s money holds her hand

Well then I coast up right beside her at the next light

I can’t help that there’s amusement on my face

Because her car must cost twenty times what mine does

Now she’s got to run the light to put me in my place

Well I really didn’t mean to hurt her feelings

There’s a tender heart that hides behind the wealth

Maybe if a baby gets too many shiny toys

She never finds the value in herself
