A Father's Daughter?


Am I just my father's daughter?

Can't I be something more?

I see how his life affects those

Constantly around him

I don't want to be my father's daughter

 

Am I just my father's daughter?

Destined to smoke and drink

Putting those before anything else

And especially anyone else

I don't want to be my father's daughter

 

Am I just my father's daughter?

Alcoholic and out-of-control

That's not who I am

That's not what I want to be

 

I am not my father's daughter.

I will live my life and care about others

I will not smoke or drink

I will be more than just a father's daughter!
