[Daughter – Jason] [Verse 1] [Ballad-style, deep voice, reflective] If I had a daughter, wouldn’t want her near me, Wouldn’t want her chasing love that disappears like smoke and whiskey. I’ve been a lesson, not a blessing, left too many tears behind me, If I had a daughter, I’d tell her—don’t you fall for my kind. [Pre-Chorus Build-up] To fathers out there with daughter Sorry, I used them, your daughters. Sorry, they met me, your daughters. Sorry I broke them, your daughters. [Chorus Melodic, anthemic, regretful but powerful] If you ever meet a boy like me… run, run, run! Don't give him the keys to the cookie just for fun, fun, fun— Let him starve, he's a vulture, he'll find someone else's (daughter.) "He'll whisper sweet lies, say you're the one, one, one— But he's just another thief, taking love he’ll call it banter." [Verse 2] If I had a daughter, wouldn’t want her near me, Wouldn’t want her falling for these puppy dog eyes—I’m a wolf in puppy fur. I’m a curse, not a blessing—drop your guard, and you’ll just say "purr!" If I had a daughter, I’d tell her—don’t mistake hunger for love. [Pre-Chorus Build-up] To fathers out there with daughter Sorry, I used them, your daughters. Sorry, they met me, your daughters. Sorry, I forgot names, your daughters… [Chorus] If you ever meet a boy like me… run, run, run! Don't give him the keys to the cookie just for fun, fun, fun— (LLet him starve, he's a vulture, he'll find someone else's (daughter.) "He'll whisper sweet lies, say you're the one, one, one— But he's just another thief, taking love he’ll call it banter." [RAP] I was a thief, stealing love I never meant to keep, I was a ghost, disappearing before they could see me deep. Every "good girl" thought she could fix me, Every "bad girl" played the same tricks on me. You can’t fix him, you didn’t break him You can’t fix him, since when are you a mechanic Even fixers know when to scrap the trash If I had a daughter, I’d teach her the game ain’t worth the pain. Sorry, I forgot your daughters names… Was it Shelly, Kelly, Megan, Tracy, Bianca, Mary, Elle, Tina Christina, Sarah, Kristel, Keri, Ashley, Eva who I told together 4 Eva, “we ain’t got all day it will take forever!” [Bridge Rap, darker tone] Dear future daughter, for future proof advice, If you ever meet a son like me—RUN, don’t think twice. Matter fact, call me first, let me handle that fool, I’ll protect your heart the best way I know how We’ll take some (shot, shot, shots!) —nah, I took the shot, dropped that loser! No one messes with my daughter, son, son—nah I’m Sonning you. You break her heart I’ll break your soul until then lets take our )shot shot shots [Final Chorus] If you ever meet a boy like me… run, run, run! Don’t let him hold your heart just to turn and run! He’ll leave you searching for something real, But, baby girl, love shouldn’t have to heal! (Love shouldn’t have to heal… I should’ve been better…) [Outro ] To every daughter if you ever meet me Run, run, run...
