You [Bm] play the feminine
[Em] And the sad, [C] abdomen,
[Em] [Bm] And those [Em] fingers are deep and bright [C] too.
[D] Just like [Em] [Am] daddy's [Bm] to that man.
[Em] Daddy's on your [Bm] breath.
[G] [Bm] I'm [D] gonna [Em] make you [Bm] nice.
[G] [Bm] He [Em] pressed the glass to [Bm] my lips.
