She shouldn't have any defects, now
She should believe all that he taught her
Cause she was the pastor's daughter
He said it's for your own good
I wouldn't lock you up if I could
But, little lady, you need to be like me
--In otherwords, you're not free
And he said it's for your own good
I wouldn't break your heart if I could
But I'm sending him away
He's not good enough to stay
And I still think it's for your own good
(as tears ran down her cheeks)
And two years later, she's changed
No surprise, cause nothin' stays the same
And she still should believe all he taught her
Cause she's still the pastor's daughter
He finally gave her a little space
Blessed a relationship he thought was safe
But untrained minds turn quickly from flirtin'
And now she's no longer a virgin
And he said it's for your own good
But he was blind, he never should've
Vetoed all, cause the leap to all
From nothing is not that tall
And he doesn't realize that the better gift
Would've been to let go and let her live
Cause then she wouldn't be so confused
So easily abused
And she would still believe all he taught her
If he hadn't raised her
To be the pastor's daughter
