歌詞
[Verse 1]
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
And 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
[Chorus]
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 two
It’s that you gotta trust your gut
She’ll be smarter than I was
If I have a daughter
[Verse 2]
If I have a daughter, she'll be brave
She won't listen to the ones
That tell her to behave
And if she does, I'll be the one
To let her shine and be herself again
[Chorus]
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 two
It’s that you gotta trust your gut
She’ll be smarter than I was
If I have a daughter
[Bridge]
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 okay
[Outro]
If I have a daughter, she'll be strong
She won’t make the same mistakes
She’ll learn where I went wrong
