[Verse 1]
I’m twenty-one tonight
Still skip the party lane
You pass me the bottle
I pass it back the same
I don’t need a body
I don’t need a blur
I need rent on time
And a life that’s sure
I want a front door
With my name on it
A little clean kitchen
And a light that fits
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve got a bigger dream
Than a spun-out week
I want steady hands
And a place to keep
All my love, all my time
All the soft things safe
I’m building something
That can’t be traded away
[Chorus]
I want daughters, I want daughters
I want a home for my daughters
I want daughters, I want daughters
I want my love on the doorstep
I want daughters, I want daughters
I want to be the kind of mother
Who says come here, baby
You’re safe here with me
[Verse 2]
I don’t chase the high
I don’t chase the night
I’m watching my future
Take shape in the light
A stable little life
A table and a floor
A name they can trust
And a room with a door
I want school lunch notes
And tiny handprints
Messy braids in the sink
And a life that wins
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not here to waste
What my heart can do
I’m saving my best years
For the ones I choose
I want steady work
I want courage too
I want every daughter
To know she’s loved through and through
[Chorus]
I want daughters, I want daughters
I want a home for my daughters
I want daughters, I want daughters
I want my love on the doorstep
I want daughters, I want daughters
I want to be the kind of mother
Who says come here, baby
You’re safe here with me
[Bridge]
One day, little voices
Will fill up the hall
Little shoes by the door
Little fingers on the wall
And I’ll be ready
I’ll be right there
With a steady heart
And a room to share
[Final Chorus]
I want daughters, I want daughters
I want a home for my daughters
I want daughters, I want daughters
I want my love on the doorstep
I want daughters, I want daughters
I want to be the kind of mother
Who says come here, baby
You’re safe here with me
I’m twenty-one, but I know what I need
