You Made Her

(album: Hôtel De Ville - 2017)

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 going non-stop, going non-stop
We were like a big thought in small talk

I'm a photo of a failure
I'm the truth you've got in the paper
She's your daughter, misbehaviour
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 see yourselves in our vintage tees
Like you thought you would at sixteen
We're like tourists in a foreign land
But we love it here 'cause we'll never land

We're going non-stop, going non-stop
We were like a big thought in small talk

I'm a photo of a failure
I'm the truth you've got in the paper
She's your daughter, misbehaviour
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 want to feel that they deserve it
'Cause baby if we're lovely, well then they're lovely too
So lets be stupid even if that's what your parents do

I'm a photo of a failure
I'm the truth you've got in the paper
She's your daughter, misbehaviour
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
You don't like what you got but you made her
