Edith Songtext
If I ever have a daughter
I'll shake my fist up at the sky
I suppose I'll name her Edith
And I will teach Edith to fight
And if I ever have a daughter
She'll be sharper than a knife
I will teach her to speak firmly
I'll teach her to take her time (Ooh)
My mother is a firecracker
I'll shake my fist up at the sky
I suppose I'll name her Edith
And I will teach Edith to fight
And if I ever have a daughter
She'll be sharper than a knife
I will teach her to speak firmly
I'll teach her to take her time (Ooh)
My mother is a firecracker
My grandmother was too
And if I ever have a daughter
I'll make damn sure she burns blue
And if I ever have a daughter
She will grow out of the earth
I will hope she'll fall in love with herself
I will hope she'll know her worth (Ooh)
And if I ever have a daughter
I will teach Edith to fight (Ooh)
I will teach her how to navigate
This big world in the dead of night
My mother is a firecracker
My grandmother was too
And if I ever have a daughter
I'll make damn sure she burns blue
(Ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh) (Ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh)
Edith is my baby girl
Edith is my baby girl
Edith is my baby girl
Edith is my whole world
My mother is a firecracker
My grandmother was too
If I ever have a daughter
I'll make damn sure she burns blue
I'll make damn sure she burns blue
And if I ever have a daughter
I'll make damn sure she burns blue
And if I ever have a daughter
She will grow out of the earth
I will hope she'll fall in love with herself
I will hope she'll know her worth (Ooh)
And if I ever have a daughter
I will teach Edith to fight (Ooh)
I will teach her how to navigate
This big world in the dead of night
My mother is a firecracker
My grandmother was too
And if I ever have a daughter
I'll make damn sure she burns blue
(Ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh) (Ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh)
Edith is my baby girl
Edith is my baby girl
Edith is my baby girl
Edith is my whole world
My mother is a firecracker
My grandmother was too
If I ever have a daughter
I'll make damn sure she burns blue
I'll make damn sure she burns blue
