Daddy what are you doing?
You're hurting me can't you see?
I'm just a little kid dad
How can you do that to me?
No daddy, I don't want money
I just want the pain to stop
Daddy, please it's so painful
I feel like my head will pop
Daddy I can't stop crying
I'm frightened, look closely at me
I just want my body to stop aching
And for you to set me free
Daddy, I don't want to do it
And sweets are no longer on my mind
I just want you daddy to stop
And release me from this bind
Daddy look, I am bleeding
Why do you no longer care?
When will you stop that noise dad?
And let go of my hair
Daddy where is mummy
Do you hurt her like this to?
You know I haven't been naughty
So why hurt me like you do?
Daddy of course I love you
Our secret you know I'll keep
But tell me why when the pain was mine
What causes you to weep?
