Daddy's Little Girl

Always turning the tables Making me the bad guy. I treat you badly? Look how you treat me! Look at how you treat her! Choosing sides, picking favorites. You say you don't But look at all the attention you give-- The attention I never get. I'm not jealous---I don't want it. I just want to be treated fairly. She sucks up to you, Making it seem as if she does nothing wrong. But you don't see the other side-- What she does when you're not looking. You don't know. And if you did know, You'd be sorry, Sorry you didn't listen, Sorry that you didn't believe That to her this is all a game... And you're losing.
