If I Have A Daughter

If I have a daughter She'll be smart
People won't just call her pretty
Yeah they'll see what's in her heart
If I have a daughter she'll be strong
She won't make the same mistakes
And get things so damn wrong
But if she does, I'll be the one
To pick her up and teach her what I know

When he tells you that it's love but it's only been a month
Don't believe him
When he says he's changed, but he can't show it
Baby girl you've gotta leave him
The first time he gets angry won't be the last
And if I've learnt a thing or 2, it's that you gotta trust your gut
She'll be smarter than I was
If I have a daughter

If I have a daughter she'll be brave
She won't listen to the ones that tell her to behave
But if she does I'll be the one, to let her shine and be herself again

When he tells you that it's love but it's only been a month
Don't believe him
When he says he's changed, but he can't show it
Baby girl you've gotta leave him
The first time he gets angry won't be the last
And if I've learnt a thing or 2, it's that you gotta trust your gut
She'll be smarter than I was
If I have a daughter

When all the walls are closing in
Know the sun will shine again and always
Hold onto the hope you feel

When it hurts you're gonna learn
There's beauty in the crash and burn
And one day it will be ok

If I have a daughter She'll be strong
She won't make the same mistakes
She'll learn where I went wrong
