Em G
Baby, he says
Am D
You are like the clean white page and I the pen
The innocence I find in between your girlish thighs
Is like the fountain of youth to my old bones
C D
And she replies
Em Em
Daddy's little girl's a precocious child
C D
I love to please
Em Em
I'll do anything that you ask of me
Eager to fulfill all of Daddy's needs
Em G
Baby, he says
Am D
I can never love older girls like I love you
You're easier to please and
You never give me grief
ause you accept everything I say & do
C D
And she replies
Em Em
I'm in no position to make demands
I have no past
No one else has done to me what you do
I've got no one else to compare you to
B A Em Em
And though you'll grow older
B Ci Em Em
Stay like you're sixteen all your life
B A G A
Old women grow bitter
B Ci Em Em
Don't let that happen to you
(Lead)
B A Em Em
And why is it charming pretending
B Ci Em Em
I'm younger than my years
B A G A
Why can't I grow up with dignity
B Ci Em
Set me free
Em G
Baby, he says
Am D
Now that you're older I feel our love has died
Once upon a time
You never criticized me Oh
I much preferred you as a child
C D
And I reply
Em Em
Everything you said to me was a lie
I know your kind
You just want a daughter without the wife
You don't need a girlfriend you need a life
C D Em G Am B A Ci
