Dinah
I met Dinah at the Bible study when I was eight years old
She was just a story to them, but to me she was more than they told
They said "Be God fearing, don't be messing with those non-believing"
So I've been in the church making sure no one's looking up my skirt
But I do not feel safe here
I wanna feel alive
Do you thrive knowing that our God favours you over me dear?
Dinah's old man said he thought all of her girlfriends were whores
In the end she got exactly what she'd been searching for
When that man took her out for a spin
She said no but he did not listen
So I've been in the church making sure no one's looking up my skirt
But I do not feel safe here
I wanna feel alive
Do you thrive knowing that our God favours you over me dear?
The same thing happened to me when I was only seventeen
Do you think I got what I deserved?
Do you think God's just trying to be seen?
By us non-believers? By us non-God fearers?
So I've been in the church making sure no one's looking up my skirt
But I do not feel safe here
I wanna feel alive
Do you thrive knowing that our God favours you over me dear daddy?
Two witness rule, oh that's cool
Go ahead and play the fool while I do not feel safe here
I've been in the church but the church is in my skirt
I've been in the church but the church is in my skirt
I've been in the church but the church is in my skirt
And my skirt defines my worth in the church
Dear daddy

Dear daddy
