About Father Figure

Paternally adopting the listener, 'Father Figure' is the fourth track off Taylor Swift's twelfth studio album, 'The Life of a Showgirl'. Interpolating George Michael’s 1988 hit of the same name, Swift’s track spouts folklore about a power dynamic between the mentor and the student being flipped in multitudes. Taylor's words: “Yeah, that was a fun one to write. And and we love a song with a key change. We had we had written it before then (The babygirl movie). .

Father Figure Lyrics

[00:06.141]When I found you, you were young, wayward, lost in the cold
[00:11.824]Pulled up to you in the Jag, turned your rags into gold
[00:16.617]The winding road leads to the chateau
[00:22.045]"You remind me of a younger me"
[00:26.294]I saw potential
[00:28.874]I'll be your father figure
[00:31.825]I drink that brown liquor
[00:34.494]I can make deals with the devil because my dick's bigger
[00:39.529]This love is pure profit
[00:42.257]Just step into my office
[00:44.694]I dry your tears with my sleeve
[00:48.298]Leave it with me
[00:50.808]I protect the family
[00:53.314]Leave it with me
[00:55.910]I protect the family
[00:59.878]I pay the check before it kisses the mahogany grain
[01:04.981]Said, "They want to see you rise, they don't want you to reign"
[01:10.471]I showed you all the tricks of the trade
[01:15.611]All I ask for is your loyalty
[01:19.846]My dear protégé
[01:22.586]I'll be your father figure
[01:25.667]I drink that brown liquor
[01:28.284]I can make deals with the devil because my dick's bigger
[01:33.082]This love is pure profit
[01:35.713]Just step into my office
[01:38.284]They’ll know your name in the streets
[01:41.683]Leave it with me
[01:44.097]I protect the family
[01:47.043]I saw a change in you (Saw a change, saw a change in you)
[01:54.954]My dear boy, they don't make loyalty like they used to (Ooh-ooh, oh, like they used to)
[02:06.538]Your thoughtless ambition sparked the ignition
[02:11.439]On foolish decisions which led to misguided visions
[02:15.757]That to fulfill your dreams
[02:20.361]You had to get rid of me
[02:25.793]I protect the family
[02:27.923]I was your father figure
[02:30.676]We drank that brown liquor
[02:33.175]You made a deal with this devil, turns out my dick's bigger
[02:38.446]You want a fight, you found it
[02:41.166]I got the place surrounded
[02:43.482]You'll be sleeping with the fishes before you know you're drowning
[02:48.358]Whose portrait's on the mantle?
[02:51.199]Who covered up your scandals?
[02:53.589]Mistake my kindness for weakness and find your card cancelled
[02:58.549]I was your father figure
[03:01.329]You pulled the wrong trigger
[03:03.935]This empire belongs to me
[03:07.319]Leave it with me
[03:10.098]I protect the family
[03:12.366]Leave it with me
[03:15.003]I protect the family
[03:17.380]Leave it with me
[03:19.658]“You know, you remind me of a younger me”
[03:26.301]I saw potential
[03:32.772]
