[Verse 1]
I forget how
the West was w
on
I forget if t
his was ever f
un
I just learne
d these people
only raise yo
u to cage you
Sarahs and Ha
nnahs in their
Sunday best
Clutching the
ir pearls, sig
hing "what a m
ess"
I just learne
d these people
try and save
you 'cause the
y hate you
[Pre-Chorus]
Too high a ho
rse for a simp
le girl to ris
e above it
They slammed
the door on my
whole world
The one thing
I wanted
[Chorus]
Now I'm runni
ng with my dre
ss unbuttoned
Screaming, "B
ut Daddy, I lo
ve him!"
I'm having hi
s baby
No, I'm not,
but you should
see your face
s
I'm telling h
im to floor it
through the f
ences
No, I'm not c
oming to my se
nses
I know he's c
razy, but he's
the one I wan
t
[Verse 2]
Dutiful daugh
ter, all my pl
ans were laid
Tendrils tuck
ed into a wove
n braid
Growing up pr
ecocious somet
imes means not
growing up at
all
He was chaos,
he was revelr
y
Bedroom eyes
like a remedy
Soon enough,
the elders had
convened down
at the city h
all
[Pre-Chorus]
"Stay away fr
om her," the s
aboteurs prote
sted too much
Lord knows th
e words we nev
er heard
Just screechi
ng tires and t
rue love
[Chorus]
Now I'm runni
ng with my dre
ss unbuttoned
Screaming, "B
ut Daddy, I lo
ve him!"
I'm having hi
s baby
No, I'm not,
but you should
see your face

I'm telling h
im to floor it
through the f
ences
No, I'm not c
oming to my se
nses
I know he's c
razy, but he's

[Bridge]
I'll tell you
something rig
ht now
I'd rather bu
rn my whole li
fe down
Than listen t
o one more sec
ond of all thi
s bitching and
moaning
I'll tell you
something abo
ut my good nam
e
It's mine alo
ne to disgrace
I don't cater
to all these
vipers dressed
in empath's c
lothing
God save the
most judgement
al creeps
Who say they
want what's be
st for me
Sanctimonious
ly performing
soliloquies I'
ll never see
Thinking it c
an change the
beat
Of my heart w
hen he touches
me and counte
ract the chemi
stry
And undo the
destiny
You ain't got
ta pray for me
Me and my wil
d boy, and all
this wild joy
If all you
want is grey
for me
Then it's jus
t white noise,
and it's just
my choice
[Verse 3]
There's a lot
of people in
town that I
Bestow upon m
y fakest smile
s
Scandal does
funny things t
o pry but brin
gs lovers clos
er
We came back
when the heat
died down
Went to my pa
rents and they
came around
All the wine
moms are still
holding out
But fuck 'em,
it's over
[Chorus]
Now I'm danci
ng in my dress
in the sun
And even my d
addy just love
s him
I'm his lady
And oh my God
, you should s
ee your faces
Time, doesn't
it give some
perspective?
No, you can't
come to the w
edding
I know he's c
razy, but he's
the one I wan
t
[Outro]
I'll tell you
something rig
ht now
You ain't got
ta pray for me
Me and my wil
d boy, and all
this wild joy
(He was chaos
, he was revel
ry)
If all you wa
nt is gray for
me
Then it's jus
t white noise,
it's my choic
e
Screaming,
"But Daddy, I
love him!"
I'm having hi
s baby
No, I'm not,
but you should
see your face
s
But oh my God
, you should s
ee your faces
