Wash               your hands,                      especially after

            Touching           that girl up the street

Go easy on                   the steel wool

              And remember,

                                      You can’t scrub               the daughter               out

                                                   of my child!

Wash that blood             out of my sink

           Bleach stains will ruin                   that expensive shirt

Stop fighting this, baby

           Your daddy never                         taught you how to use an axe so

                                   How are you going to try                to kill my child?

The good Lord might still want

                     To save you

Give Him a chance and get on your knees for Him,

            Not that girl up the street

                                     You think you’re a grown man now.

The only changing here           was when I changed

           Your diapers                  Please listen

Stop fighting                  my beautiful daughter

            She will always be here               you will always be here

                                     You’re still mine,           girl.

Treat her well                the girl up the street

           Like a real man should

Keep me in your thoughts, boy              I will continue

             To sacrifice                    everything                      for you

                          I’ve got you forever, boy.          You are mine.
