Taylor Swift 'But Daddy I Love Him' Lyrics
I forget how the West was won,
I forget if this was ever fun
I just learned these people only raise you to cage you
Sarahs and Hannahs in their Sunday best,
Clutching their pearls, sighing, "What a mess"
I just learned these people try and save you 'cause they hate you
Too high a horse for a simple girl to rise above it
They slammed the door on my whole world,
The one thing I wanted
Now I’m running with my dress unbuttoned,
Screaming, "But daddy I love him"
I’m having his baby,
No I'm not, but you should see your faces
I’m telling him to floor it through the fences,
No I’m not coming to my senses
I know he’s crazy, but he’s the one I want

Dutiful daughter, all my plans were laid,
Tendrils tucked into a woven braid
Growing up precocious sometimes means not growing up at all
He was chaos, he was revelry,
Bedroom eyes like a remedy
Soon enough the elders had convened down at the City Hall
"Stay away from her,"
The saboteurs protested too much
Lord knows the words we never heard,
Just screeching tires and true love
Now I’m running with my dress unbuttoned,
Screaming, "But daddy I love him"
I’m having his baby,
No I'm not, but you should see your faces
I’m telling him to floor it through the fences,
No I’m not coming to my senses
I know he’s crazy, but he’s the one I want

I’ll tell you something right now
I’d rather burn my whole life down
Than listen to one more second of all this bitching and moaning
I’ll tell you something about my good name,
It’s mine alone to disgrace
I don’t cater to all these vipers dressed in empaths clothing
God save the most judgmental creeps who say they want what’s best for me Sanctimoniously performing soliloquies I’ll never see
Thinking it can change the beat of my heart when he touches me
And counteract the chemistry and undo the destiny
You ain’t gotta pray for me
Me and my wild boy and all this wild joy
If all you want is grey for me, then it's just white noise, then it's just my choice
There’s a lotta people in town that I bestow upon my fakest smiles
Scandal does funny things to pride but brings lovers closer
We came back when the heat died down, went to my parents and they came around
All the wine moms are still holding out but f—k ‘em, it’s over
Now I’m dancing in my dress in the sun and even my daddy just loves him
I’m his lady and oh my God, you should see your faces
Time, doesn’t it give some perspective?
And no you can’t come to the wedding
I know he’s crazy but he’s the one I want
I’ll tell you something right now
You ain’t gotta pray for me, me and my wild boy and all this wild joy
If all you want is grey for me, then it’s just white noise, it’s my choice
Screaming, "But daddy I love him"
I’m having his baby...no I’m not
But you should see your faces
But oh my God, you should see your faces
