DADDIE ISSUES [Intro: Anna, whispered] I never was me I never was she It took chaining me down To set me free I got Daddie issues I got Daddie issues [Deep Daddie Voice](Male Voice 1) You certainly do, baby Now off to bed with you Daddie wants your body [Beat Drop] [Verse 1] He likes my mouth red He likes my eyes black He likes both hands Pinned behind my back He tells me stand He tells me kneel He tells me which little feelings I’m allowed to feel He knows what I want Before I decide He slips in so easy And settles inside [Pre-Chorus] Was that my thought? Was that my tongue? Who made me old? Who keeps me young? [Chorus] I got Daddie issues More than one He orders stay My mind says run I got Daddie issues Taking turns One holds my leash While another one burns I never was me I never was she It took chaining me down To set me free I got Daddie issues Daddie issues [Verse 2] He came in silver Under my skin A pretty little splinter They hammered in No flowers No vows No family name Just a socket opened At the base of my brain Push him down gently Hear the contacts kiss A shiver up my spine Then someone else exists My hips still move My lips still part But there’s a stranger’s rhythm Where I kept my heart [Deep Daddie Voice] (Male voice 2) That’s enough, darling You’re exciting yourself [Anna gasps](GASPING ACHE) [Deep Daddie Voice](Male Voice 3) Daddie’s gonna drive [Pre-Chorus] Was that my hand? Was that my grin? Who locked me out? Who let him in? [Chorus] I got Daddie issues Three or four One in my head And two wanting more I got Daddie issues Sweet and mean One makes promises One wipes me clean I never was me I never was she It took chaining me down To set me free I got Daddie issues Daddie issues [Breakdown: Anna] Take me out Put him in Where I end He begins Strip my name Mute my doubt Turn me off PIMP me out [Daddie Voice 1](MaleVoice 1) Such a good girl [Daddie Voice 2](Male Voice 2) Such a very good girl [Anna screams] THERE NEVER WAS A GIRL! [Verse 3] A Daddie is a chip With a dead man’s mind A dominant personality Of the proprietary kind Sold with confidence Judgment and charm Executive instinct Permission to harm Slot one for business Slot two for war Slot three knows exactly What my body is for They borrow my breathing Hijack my eyes They wear me to parties to tell pretty little lies They fight at the doorway They claw at my seams Each one swearing He invented my dreams [Bridge: Overlapping Voices] [Daddie Voice 1] I protect her [Daddie Voice 2] I perfect her [Daddie Voice 3] I correct the defects in her [Anna screams] YOU INFECT ME! [Daddies] We set you free [Anna screams] THERE WAS NEVER ENOUGH OF ME! [Final Chorus] I got Daddie issues Loaded deep They take my body They make me sleep I got Daddie issues Passing through They come inside me And swear they’re you I never was me I never was she It took chaining me down To set me free I got Daddie issues Daddie issues [Stripper Breakdown] One for the money Two for my meat Three takes control While I grind to the beat One in the socket One in the queue Daddie says, “Baby…” “I’m the real you” [Outro: Anna, fading] I never was me I never was she [Deep Daddie Voice] Go back to sleep, baby Daddie has the reins [Instrumental Outro: 8 seconds] [Final Bass Hit] [End]
