'Little Girl's Dad' - Lyrics by Urthboy I kept a little journal from before you were born And wrote about the shape of mama’s belly you formed I filled a lot of pages up inside that first six months You notice every single movement and it’s all too much Brought you back to our tiny two bedder in Dulwich Hill Salute to the red brick—to some of us you’re still a big deal You see I never thought I’d own my home but Here we are as the sun sets, neighbour chats away on his phone They say you grow up so quick, I don’t know about that But your clothes sure as hell do And now lunch is getting packed and my diary lost track So I’ve got something to tell you / CHORUS / You ain’t daddy’s little girl, I’m a little girl’s dad That’s the way it’s going to be And I’m sorry you inherited a man’s world Baby it’s not the way it’s got to be You ain’t daddy’s little girl he’s a little girl’s dad And it’s your world to take back Cos the men are going to try and tell you what you can and can’t be And you ain’t going to stand for that There’s so many textbooks, websites, experts Telling you the way you should bring up your kid When genetics kick in there isn’t a way of knowing anything About the thousand lives you may live We don’t keep it safe as we can possibly make it Cos I don’t want to wrap you up in wool Thought it was different but I was mistaken If I ever led you to believe that we’re in control I see your chubby little arms reaching up to be held I just want to hold you tightly and shield any pain With your head upon my shoulders you can feel how the fire works But also be protected from the heat of the flame When it seems like despair in a broken world Knowing I won’t be there and ready whenever you fall You’re somebody’s revelation, ain’t nobody’s girl So no matter what direction you walk, kid you’ve got my support They say you grow up so quick I don’t know about that Cos you learn with everything you do Now the months are so packed and my diary lost track So I’ve got something to tell you / CHORUS / You make your mistakes; I’ve made mine You do as you wish, take your time Say whatever you think that’s your right What does life in the other’s shoes look like? You were born with a strength you could never hide So when they try you push you to the side, push em right back You don’t ever have to step aside Because a lot of rules made well they don’t apply You make your mistakes; I’ve made mine You do as you wish, take your time Little homie you don’t ever have to step aside Because a lot of rules made well they don’t apply / CHORUS /
