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
