Saint Paulee Girl

Daddy gets home by nine Tired face and scent of wine Daddy forgets to say hi For she's waiting inside Even though its cold she's very warm Ready to put the problems down Even though he spends his wallet for her Shes worthless So worthless I ask her each day how does she get him to hear every word she has to say I tell her I envy the way that he listens to every word she has to say How does she get to be the daughter I want to be Oh I wish I could be Wish I could be Wish I could be A Saint Paulee Girl Daddy doesn't think before he speaks Hurts with words slippin' through his teeth Daddy doesn't want to go to mass He and her need to relax Daddy doesn't understand Why the tears fall down down Daddy only listens to the blonde who waits on the counter in his hand I ask her each day how does she get him to hear every word she has to say I tell her I envy the way that he listens to every word she has to say How does she get to be the daughter I want to be Oh I wish I could be Wish I could be Wish I could be A Saint Paulee Girl Daddy isn't coming home by nine His days are gone along with his red wine Daddy never got to say goodbye For he ran at thirty-seven to the other side I want to be (I want to be) I wish I could be (I wish I could be) I want to be (I want to be) A saint paulee girl (I want to be I want to be a saint paulee girl) I want to be I want to be a saint paulee girl (saint paulee girl) I ask her each day how does she get him to hear every word she has to say I tell her I envy the way that he listens to every word she has to say How does she get to be the daughter I want to be Oh I wish I could be Wish I could be Wish I could be A Saint Paulee Girl
