Emery - Daddy's Little Peach lyrics

rate me

You got me falling in love with what's next

The personality's a casualty but

I'm impressed

With the way you control the verbs

Moving in and out with words

Slow, slow down we don't have to rush

How profound is the sequence

Perception to the touch

Is it just me or does this routine

Ever get inside your head

And tell you all the little things

That you wish... had been said(2)

Chorus

When will I be old enough to do

as I please

These late nights are getting old

There are better ways to your knees

Mommy always had you buttoned up

We were daddy's little peach

When will I be old enough...

to do as I please

You've got me here

But you've got me wrong

I'm not a cannibal but I cannot say

I won't eat one of my own

But with words slurred I confess

This smile isn't based on your subtle wit

But the cut of your dress

It makes that ugly morning

Seem so far away

And if it ever comes at all

Then I'll know...

Just what to say

When will I be old enough to do

as I please

These late nights are getting old

There are better ways to your knees

Mommy always had you buttoned up

We were daddy's little peach

When will I be old enough(2)

... to do as I please(3)

So wake up, wake up it's the morning

Another eight hours and the days

Left you wanting reprieve

Or at least religion

But just relax cause everyone's sinning

Last night the drinks, the words, the kiss

The car, the apartment, the cab fare, fake digits

Your hair, your make-up, your high heels, impeccable

All of it, just to sit

With some wannabes and counterfeits

How respectable(2)

Lets turn the lights on(3)

-Lets turn the lights on now! -

When will I be old enough

(To do as I please)

Mommy had you buttoned up

(We were daddy's little peach)

When will I be old enough

When will I be(3)
