Can anybody hear me?
Can anybody see?
His hands against the wall now
I'm pinned in between
Don't know how I got here
I thought that he was safe
But this is in his nature
At least that's what they say

And when a father doesn't want a daughter
It's 'cause he knows who he was when he was younger

Not all men, but too many
Not all men, but if I had a penny
I'd buy a house that was warm like honey
For all the girls who were bruised and bloodied
Not all men, but too many
Not all men, but if I had a penny
I'd buy an island on a virgin land
Keep it clean from the hands of man

She was only sixteen
Did anybody see?
She was getting kinda skinny
Tearing her fingernails 'til they bleed
She was just a girl when
She learned what to expect
And that nobody would listen
Unless they wanted to see her undressed

And when a father doesn't want a daughter
It's 'cause he knows who he was when he was younger

Not all men, but too many
Not all men, but if I had a penny
I'd buy a house that was warm like honey
For all the girls who were bruised and bloodied
Not all men, but too many
Not all men, but if I had a penny
I'd buy an island on a virgin land
Keep it clean from the hands of man

She was only fifteen, she was only eight
He got her alone when she was half his age
She was so mature and had too much champagne
"What's the big deal? That's expected on a date"
"She's the one to blame"
"She's the one to blame"
"She's the one to blame"
"She's the one to blame"
"She's the one to blame"
"She's the one to blame"
"No, it couldn't have been him 'cause he's a man of faith"

Not all men, but too many
Not all men, but if I had a penny
I'd buy a house that was warm like honey
For all the girls who were bruised and bloodied
Not all men, but too many
Not all men, but if I had a penny
I'd buy an island on a virgin land
Keep it clean from the hands of man
