Good Girl

I've been a good girl today
I ate all my breakfast
I dressed myself
I used the potty all by myself
I wasn't too loud when you were sleeping
I colored in the lines
I washed my hands
I put all my toys away
I quietly watched t.v.
I didn't get in your way
I brought you a beer when you asked
I didn't get my dress dirty when I played outside
I let you watch the game

Daddy I've been a good girl
You told me if I was good you wouldn't hurt Mommy
You told me if I was good you wouldn't touch me there
You told me if I was good you would leave us alone
You told me if I was good I would make you happy

I was good today
Then why did you hurt me?
Why did you touch me in bad places?
Why do me and Mommy have boo-boos?
Why does Mommy cry?
Why do you always drink?
Why do you always yell?
Why won't you leave us alone?

Be a good Daddy or I will get the gun Mommy hid
Be a good Daddy or I will get the bullets
Be a good Daddy or I will load the gun
Be a good Daddy or I will point it at you
Be a good Daddy or I will pull the trigger

You weren't a very good Daddy
You hit Mommy
You touched my no-no places
You yelled
You drank

That is why I had to shoot you
I was a good girl
I didn't deserve what you did to me
I tried to be an angel
But you were a bad Daddy
And that's why you're dead
That's why me and Mommy are happy now

Nobody misses you
You were a bad Daddy
I was a good girl
Bad Daddy
Good Girl
