Daddy's Money Lyrics - 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 rear view 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 

'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, 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 

'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
