[Verse 1]
I have come to speak with you about your daughter
She's no girl; she's a woman, sir; if she wants to go and see the world, she oughta
You have kept her here for twenty years alone
But I'll have you know she's fully grown and she sure knows just what she wants, my God

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
If you won't allow her leaving, I must take her
I'm seeing red and I'd kill you dead if you tried to keep her here, man, you can't make her
You imagine that she's just as pure as ever
But I have been known to shake her bones; yeah, we've been known to shudder and moan together

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
I am not the problem, you are
I am not the problem, you are

[Outro]
I love her, she loves me; I thought you should know
I love her, she loves me; I thought you should know
