[Verse 1]
I know you can buy your own drinks, you can open your own door
You could dance all by yourself out on that hardwood floor
I know that you can drive, but you make that shotgun seat look good
Just because you can girl, doesn't mean you should

[Chorus]
You shouldn't have to, yeah, that's how my daddy raised me
Treat a woman like a lady, yeah, that's just what I'll do
I'll buy you flowers, I'll take you somewhere every summer
You'll never have to wonder if I'll always love you
'Cause you shouldn't have to

[Verse 2]
There's a standard of perfection that the world's got you believing
That you need to put on more make-up, oh but baby you don't need it
I'm starting to see as I get a littlе older
That you think you gotta carry the weight of thе world on your shoulders

[Chorus]
You shouldn't have to, yeah, that's how my daddy raised me
Treat a woman like a lady, yeah, that's just what I'll do
I'll buy you flowers, I'll take you somewhere every summer
You'll never have to wonder if I'll always love you
'Cause you shouldn't have to
[Post-Chorus]
You shouldn't have to, yeah

[Chorus]
You shouldn't have to, yeah, that's how my daddy raised me
Treat a woman like a lady, yeah, that's just what I'll do
I'll buy you flowers, I'll take you somewhere every summer
You'll never have to wonder if I'll always love you
'Cause you shouldn't have to, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
You shouldn't have to, oh-yeah
