This is to a girl’s father who’s frustrated with his rebellious daughter.
The song points out that “like father, like daughter” – he was just like her at that age.
She's your girl and she has your eyes
And we take your car
But she always tells you the truth
You were sure that she'd measure up
Never let you down till she brought me round
We were non stop
Going non stop
We were like a big thought in the small talk
I've a photo
Of your failure
I'm a trophy of gold made of paper
She's your daughter
Miss behaviour
You don't like what you got but you made her
You don't like what you got but you made her
You don't like what you got but you made her
So look at us and you
See yourselves in our vintage tees
Like you thought you would at 16
We're not tourists in a foreign land
But we love it here cause we'll never land
We were non stop
Going non stop
We were like a big thought in the small talk
I've a photo
Of your failure
I'm a trophy of gold made of paper
She's your daughter
Miss behaviour
You don't like what you got but you made her
You don't like what you got but you made her
You don't like what you got but you made her
Yeah maybe we'll be perfect
But then they'll think we're perfect
And why the hell would we ever wanna feel they deserve it
Cause baby if we're lovely
Well then they're lovely too
So let's be stupid even if that's what your parents do
I've a photo
Of your failure
I'm a trophy of gold made of paper
She's your daughter
Miss behaviour
You don't like what you got but you made her
You don't like what you got but you made her
You don't like what you got but you made her
