Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I misbehaved, done some things I know I shouldn't do
I touched myself, even though you told me not to
You commanded me to wait for you (I tried)
But I can smell you on my sheets, taste you on my skin so vividly
Daddy, I disobeyed ya
Now I want you to come punish me
[Verse 2]
Babe, I need some discipline tonight
Don't hold back, I've been very bad
Make me cry, ooh
Got to make me cry, ooh
Babe, I need some discipline tonight
Don't hold back, I've been very bad
Make me cry, ooh
Got to make me cry, ooh
Babe
[Verse 3]
Ooh, misbehaved
And my punishment should fit my crime
Tie me to something, take off all my clothes
Daddy, I want you to take your time (I'm scared)
My heart is beating fast, shiver as you grab my neck
Baby, blindfold me, daddy
It's better when I don't know what to expect
[Verse 4]
Babe, I need some discipline tonight
Baby, don't hold back, I've been very bad
Daddy, make me cry, ooh
Daddy, make me cry, ooh
Babe, I need some discipline tonight
Baby, don't hold back, I've been very bad
Daddy, make me cry, ooh
Daddy, make me cry, ooh
Ooh, babe
[Verse 5]
Did I upset you Daddy, take out your frustrations on me
Did I make you mad, take out your frustrations on me
You be the teacher, I'll be the student
Tell me to do it, and I will do it
You be the teacher, I'll be the student (I'm under your command)
Tell me to do it, and I will do it
[Verse 6]
Babe, I need some discipline tonight
Don't hold back, I've been very bad
Daddy, make me cry, ooh
Daddy, make me cry, ooh
Babe, I need some discipline tonight
Baby, don't hold back, I've been very bad
Daddy, make me cry, ooh
Babe
[Verse 7]
Take out your frustrations on me
Take out your frustrations on me
Take out your frustrations on me
