Fix your makeup,
Never let them see you cry,
Make up a lie,
And say you just need a bit alone time,
Keep your back straight,
Look them right in the eye,
Say yes sir,
No sir,
Cause daddy has taught you better,
No one likes,
The miss behaved,
No one likes the real,
Only the fake,
Never tell a lie,
without a little truth behind,
Never say no,
Even when you know,
You' re right,
Bottle after bottle,
You got no say,
It never goes your way,
Just smile,
And keep your makeup straight,
and your laugh fake,
While saying you're okay,
Keep your lips closed,
Nod when spoken to,
Use yes and no,
And thank you,
Best Policy,
Is being true,
To the one person,
Who knows you the most,
YOU,
Cause daddy has taught you,
What to say,
When your all out of words,
Yes sir,
No sir,
Mama has taught you to be the driver,
Not the passenger,
of your own life,
even if you're only facing it,
with a butter knife.
