lyrics

Your whole life’s been a stage
Idolize Betty Page
Account your culture well
And hide inside your shell
Claim that you’re an outsider
While laughing at the losers

You always dress the part
Black makeup looking sharp
Patented Myspace pose
Hot Topic branded clothes
Tattoos and fishnets
A self-inflicted silhouette

Hang out at coffee shops
An audience when you talk
A definitive gaze
With everything you say
Designer anguish breeds
Unwanted sympathy

Misunderstood? Not quite
I think I’ve got it right
Don’t flatter yourself, hun
You’re not the only one
Who has a deadbeat dad
And now you’ve got it bad

Daddy doesn’t love you
Daddy doesn’t love you
And now you’ve got some issues
‘Cause your daddy doesn’t love you

He looked into your eyes
Without saying goodbye
Now cockiness conceals
The way you really feel
And now you’ve got a son
An Oedipus to come

It’s not a big surprise
You date the nicest guys
Convicted felons and skins
‘Cause they remind you of him
Surround yourself with scum
A pity party of one

A perfect Suicide Girl
Waiting to be unfurled
Scars on your wrists a crime
Try up and down next time
Your brain not worth the bother
Because you miss your father

Wishing he gave into
Incestual taboo
That pop had popped your cherry
No wonder men are scary
We both know one thing’s true
Your daddy don’t love you

Daddy doesn’t love you
Daddy doesn’t love you
So pack yourself some tissues
‘Cause your daddy doesn’t love you
Your daddy doesn’t love you
Your daddy doesn’t love you, boo-hoo
And now you’ve got some issues
‘Cause your daddy doesn’t love
Daddy doesn’t love
Daddy doesn’t love you
