[Verse 1]
Platinum card on a silver chain
You sign your name like it’s your last name’s fame
Tiny dog in a diamond sling
You call it “therapy” when you want a new thing
[Pre-Chorus]
Every mirror tells you you’re a monarch
Never learned the meaning of “it’s too much”
But the clock is coming for your credit
And the bill is growing teeth
Yeah
Watch it
[Chorus]
Daddy says yes
But the world says no
Can’t bribe the sky when the storm clouds grow
You can’t cash in on your last name
Baby
When the rent’s due
Life’s a little less pretty
Daddy says yes
But the world says no
That princess dress won’t survive real snow
You’ll choke on the glitter you love so heavy
When the crown starts cutting
Cutting steady
[Verse 2]
First job
You showed up half past noon
Asking where they parked your private room
Tears fell when the coffee stained your sleeve
You tried to call “legal” like it’s make-believe
[Pre-Chorus]
Every “problem” solved with a purchase
Every “lesson” lost in a merch haul
But the clock is tapping on your glass screen
Saying
“Girl
Wake up
This is not a daydream”
[Chorus]
Daddy says yes
But the world says no
Can’t charm a storm with a selfie glow
You can’t refund all your bad behavior
HR doesn’t care who signed your waiver
Daddy says yes
But the world says no
That fairy tale script got a hard veto
You’ll trip on the heels that you wore for status
When the floor’s not marble
Just cracked and callous
[Bridge]
What you gonna do when the card declines? (hah)
When “Do you know my father?” hits a long
Cold line
When the driver’s gone and the doors don’t swing
When you’re just a girl and not a golden thing
[Chorus]
Daddy says yes
But the world says no
Can’t buy a spine when the wind blows cold
You can’t throw cash at the crash
Sweet baby
Out here every “maybe” answers “pay me”
Daddy says yes
But the world says no
That sugar glass life’s gonna crack
You know
Welcome to the kingdom of concrete pity
Where the crown weighs more than your pretty
Pretty
