Down by the Lake lyrics

(Well, you better get home,

'cause your daddy's awake...)

(Said he saw you last night

making out by the lake

with the boy that he hates...)

(He doesn't look at me the same way that you do...)

You said I look pretty cute but I don't got the grades.

Seen the star on my foot and the way I behave.

We're better off when daddy's out of town.

Oh baby you... got nothing to prove!

(He's crazy, he don't mean nothing to...)

But if we decide to go,

it doesn't mean he's gotta know.

(It doesn't mean he's gotta know...)

Oh baby you... got nothing to lose!

(He's crazy, he don't mean nothing...)

And we're better off when daddy's not around.

Doesn't give his consent,

so now we can't afford

the perfect wedding you want.

Got to do it abroad

in a place you adore,

so I got us on a plane to Hawaii.

Where the weather is nice and where we are alone.

None of daddy's advice followed us here from home.

It'll be chilled out when daddy's not around.

Oh baby you... got nothing to prove!

(He's crazy, he don't mean nothing to...)

But if we decide to go,

it doesn't mean he's gotta know.

(It doesn't mean he's gotta know...)

Oh baby you... got nothing to lose!

(He's crazy, he don't mean nothing...)

And we're better off when daddy's not around.

I can't be around him and I've tried.

Told him once I like him but I lied.

Find some way to make him change his mind.

What can I do to be with you?

(Ahh... ahhhh... ahhhhh... ahhhhhhh...)

Oh baby you... got nothing to prove!

(He's crazy, he don't mean nothing to...)

But if we decide to go,

it doesn't mean he's gotta know.

(It doesn't mean he's gotta know...)

Oh baby you... got nothing to lose!

(He's crazy, he don't mean nothing...)

And we're better off when daddy's not around.
