[Verse 1]
My friend pulled up a photo of you down on one knee
Emerald cut for real true love at sunset on the beach
I'm glad you finally found the one 'cause it sure wasn't me
And I can't help but smile when I think
[Pre-Chorus]
That sometime soon, post-honeymoon, she'll be fifteen weeks
Swear I'm healed, but if karma's real, that cake will cut pink
[Chorus]
And you'll have a daughter
She'll meet a man who looks and acts just like her father
Won't be long until she's falling in them big brown eyes
She'll stay the night and won't think twice to give him everything
Then he'll do her like her daddy did to me
[Verse 2]
And maybe you'll get déjà vu when she's crying in your arms
And you'll tell her that he's the worst like my dad said you are
[Pre-Chorus]
I hate that she will have to be another notch in his belt
But maybe then you'll finally feel the way I felt
[Chorus]
When you have a daughter
She'll meet a man who looks and acts just like her father
Won't be long until she's falling in them big brown eyes
She'll stay the night and won't think twice to give him everything
Then he'll do her like her daddy did to me
[Bridge]
You'll wanna drive to his house
Go cuss him out
And you will (Mm)
But, no, it ain't worth the gas
'Cause he won't see it like that
No, not until
[Chorus]
He has a daughter
She'll meet a man who looks and acts just like her father
Won't be long until she's falling in them big brown eyes
She'll stay the night and won't think twice to give him everything
Then he'll do her like her daddy did to me

I wrote this song with the notion that no man will truly understand a woman’s hurt until he sees tears in eyes that look like his own, but I’m hoping it triggers a little bit of compassion. It’d make me happy to know this song inspired just one person to be a little more careful with someone’s heart...
