Van Dyke Parks
Daughter
[Verse 1]
Everything she sees
She says she wants
Everything she wants
I see she gets

[Chorus]
That's my daughter in the water
Everything she owns I bought her
Everything she owns
That's my daughter in the water
Everything she knows I taught her
Everything she knows

[Verse 2]
Everything I say
She takes to heart
Everything she takes
She takes apart

[Chorus]
That's my daughter in the water
Every time she fell I caught her
Every time she fell
That's my daughter in the water
I lost every time I fought her
I lost every time
[Verse 3]
Every time she blinks
She strikes somebody blind
Everything she thinks
Blows her tiny mind

[Chorus]
That's my daughter in the water
Who'd have ever thought her?
Who'd have ever thought?
That's my daughter in the water
I lost everytime I fought her
Yea, I lost every time
