Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Cast - I Love My Daughter (But Not In A Creepy Way) Lyrics






[Darryl:]
Daddy's little girl, princess of my world
I never knew a beauty like this before
So clever and cute, an angel with an attitude
I want her, all mine, all of the time

I know songs like this can come off weird
But there's nothing weird about helping daddy trim his beard
Dads do that!
'Cause I love my daughter, but not in a creepy way
Though I realize father/daughter love comes off that way
I just love my daughter—but again, not in a creepy way

The father/daughter dance, surrounded by adorable girls
But there's only one that's got my eye
Her feet on my shoes, her hands on my hips
Yeah, it's a weird visual, now that I think of it

I know lines like that can skeeve people out
But when it comes to tickling, woo-hoo!
She 'bout to get it now!

I'm very careful where I tickle my daughter
Never inappropriately
I can see how that came out a bit confusingly
I just love my daughter
But seriously, not in a creepy way

One day she'll fall in love, and I'll give her away
Not like I ever had her, what a weird thing to say
I can see it now, she'll look just like her Mom
Granted, I did have sex with her Mom
Oh, but this is different

'Cause I love my daughter, but not in a love-love way
Do you get what I—ugh!
What I mean to say is
I'll just stop talking
Having a daughter is weird

  1. T.... Z....

    I still want the original song from the commentary album. My curiosity is too much to handle.

  2. A.... P....

    1:36 I found the Butterfly Kisses reference!

  3. N.... U....

    This is Freud's wet dream

  4. K.... 8....

    I’m glad this song hit all the points I’ve been thinking about. Some fathers just look so creepy to me sometimes.
    Hell, even my dad creeps me out sometimes. And I’m a guy so wtf am i worried about

  5. M.... P....

    😂😂😂 2019

  6. T.... ....

    Love ya Darryl, but not in a creepy way... maybe

  7. B.... B....

    Loving your daughter should be the norm and it's sad that for fathers, it's immediately associated with pedophilia. Loving your kids? Of course, that's what you're supposed to do.

  8. m.... ....

    Platonically. The word you're looking for is platonically.

  9. S.... L....

    His boots!

  10. k.... ....

    I don't have a father.

  11. x.... ....

    This is 100% going to be the father/daughter dance song if I ever get married.

  12. C.... B....

    I love my dad alot and we tell eachother that 😂 it’s not creepy i swear 😂

  13. C.... F....

    Rebecca's expressions got me dead 😂

  14. -.... -....

    actual daddy 💕💖

  15. B.... ....

    *"HELP DADDY TRIM HIS BEARD"*

  16. M.... _....

    At least he’s aware

  17. A.... M....

    I love how the beginning is referenced when Rebecca sings before her wedding

  18. R.... ....

    Darryl's songs are always the best lolol

  19. S.... S....

    Hahahaha! Just showed this to my dad and told him I want this to be our father daughter dance at my wedding. His reply was "just don't stand on my feet". Yeah, we are a strange family...but not in a CREEPY way. Lmao.

    S.... S....

    Awww hahaha

  20. L.... I....

    This is hard to understand as a child of divorce 🤔🤔🤔🤔

  21. M.... A....

    When it comes to tickling omg she is gonna get it good. I very carful where I tickle my daughter. Not inappropriately wtf hilar-balls

  22. L.... S....

    This song made me very uncomfortable until I saw Rebecca's Reprise and realized this song is meant to say something about Rebecca's character, not Darryl's. This song is just a subtle, "She doesn't know what a good father-daughter relationship looks like 'cause her father is a dick and left when she was young".

  23. w.... ....

    I love my books in a creepy way .

  24. C.... C....

    Like Mike's Evanderin', fuck your ears, I'm panderin'. I write songs for the people who do jobs in the towns I'd never move to.

  25. K.... H....

    The horses didn't really help haha.

  26. S.... M....

    this song is brilliant because it begins with him just genuinely expressing affection for his daughter, which is 'creepy' because our culture questions it when men express affection for anyone besides their spouse. But at the end, he expresses sentiments that we think are perfectly normal, that dads "give away" their daughters. It perfectly parodies the way that country songs try to pass off fathers feeling that they are the stewards of their daughters' sexuality as affection, when really that's what's creepy and expressing affection for your daughter just openly and honestly shouldn't be creepy at all.

    S.... M....

    S.L. McQueen I want to like but it’s at 123 likes

  27. M.... .....

    I wonder how many times Peter had to keep doing re-takes cause he couldn't stop laughing?

  28. P.... N....

    Man, Freud would have a field day with this song....

  29. 7.... ....

    Thanks for this show Rachel. You will get a mention in my journal but not in a creepy way.

  30. I.... ....

    wouldve been ALOT creepier if rachel wasnt there

  31. F.... F....

    Is nice to enjoy again these awesome music videos on YouTube but it would be great to having the ability to add translations by the community (actually isn't possible because of the video configuration) then it would be more easy spreading the word about the show in other countries. Thanks Rachel for this hilarious show!! Keep doing stuff!!

  32. S.... ....

    The fact that pedophilia is so ingrained in our culture that this makes sense is really sad. Platonic dad/daughter love is such a sweet connection but the idea that creepy connotations are so automatic ruins any celebration of genuine love. So while this song is funny, it's also really horrible, because it references the idea that we need to defend ourselves and immediately go I love (x family member) but not in a creepy way. :(

    S.... ....

    Yeah but everything it says is true. All these things can seem creepy. It’s not inappropriate for a father though, which is the point of the song. I think.

    S.... ....

    Keoh 8 agreed, I think it also emphasises how Rebecca hasn’t experienced that affection from her own father so Darryl is responding to her expressions

    S.... ....

    fel arb Perhaps
    I personally think it has nothing to do with her experiences in life tho

    S.... ....

    Dissecting humour is like dissecting a frog. Nobody laughs and something dies.

    S.... ....

    Pedophilia is not "ingrained." We acknowledge that pedophilia happens. This is SO much better than denying it, which is sadly what about 90% of cultures do.

  33. H.... H....

    I love Crazy Ex Girlfriend.. definitely in a creepy way

  34. C.... J....

    Rachel, when are you finally gonna share the infamous demo version of this song with the world?!
    (or even just with me... I'm dying to hear it)

    C.... J....

    Infamous demo? What am I missing out on?

  35. A.... M....

    Having a daughter might be weird, but I think the call-sheet, script pages, and brief for the shots of Madison in a field must have been weirder.

    A.... M....

    I think it might be stock footage.

  36. E.... G....

    I love Pete Gardner, and yeah, in a slightly creepy way.

    E.... G....

    Evan Gore same

    E.... G....

    Evan Gore Darryl is great i always crack up when he puckers his lips and puts his head up when gets upset or annoyed lol

  37. t.... ....

    One of my friends played a character who was revealed at the end to be the father of the character one of my other friends played. After the show ended they started dating and have now been together for six months or so. I should send this to them since I like to tell the one who played the daughter that Freud would have a field day with her.

    t.... ....

    how did they respond?

    t.... ....

    Georgia Moffet, (Daughter of Peter Davison, the 5th Doctor) portrayed the Doctor's daughter, in the episode The Doctor's Daughter featuring the 10th Doctor, David Tennant.

    She later married David Tennant and had a daughter.

    So, the Doctor's daughter, married the Doctor, and gave birth to the Doctor's daughter...and the Doctor's granddaughter.

    t.... ....

    So she is doctor's daughter in a real life and in the show, and her daughter is also doctor's daughter?

    t.... ....

    @Julie E Yep

    t.... ....

    JamesCPotter13 don’t they have like 5 kids total?

  38. G.... S....

    So is this Trump's theme song or something?

    G.... S....

    George Spears But Trump does love his daughter in a creepy way, so no.

    G.... S....

    Trump has a daughter? I thought he only had the son

  39. S.... B....

    "do you get what I UGH"
    I just died XD

  40. E.... O....

    hes daddy af

    E.... O....

    E OK yeah that's the point of this song

  41. C.... S....

    Good sing but creepy song

    C.... S....

    Charles Seabolt lol

  42. z.... ....

    I guess this is sort of a satire on all those cheesy creepy cornball "family" country songs that try to appeal to the family values crowd with syrupy maudlin lyrics about over-romanticized "memories" of families that never existed.

    z.... ....

    zyxwut321 this is something rebecca bunch would say lmao

    z.... ....

    zyxwut321 I think of "I loved her first" by rascal flatts. It's literally all about about a dad telling his daughter's boyfriend that he loved her before the boyfriend did. It's supposed to be sweet but comes off creepy

    z.... ....

    yikes....I just looked at the lyrics for it

    z.... ....

    Yeah but I love some of those songs, like "I've been watching you" is one of my favorite songs even if its a bit cheesy

  43. k.... ....

    Bhahaaha Amazing performance by Pete, But Rachel's timely reactions is the subtle input that really sells it as hilariously creepy & not just one or the other XD

  44. a.... q....

    so dark!!!!!!!!

  45. R.... H....

    Also, Rachel's facial expressions in this are gold.

  46. B.... L....

    So glad my dad never tickled me xD

  47. R.... H....

    I'm very careful where I tickle my daughter!
    Dead.

    R.... H....

    +BiloLCFC That's my favorite part!

    R.... H....

    BiloLCFC lolz. I was ready your comment the same time he sang that

  48. D.... W....

    The song and the performance is genius.

    D.... W....

    David Weinstein did we watch the same video? There was barely a rhyme scheme, meter sucked, jokes were obvious and far between. This sounded like something a high-school sophomore would write for a silly class project. Who gave them the budget for this video? Oh, CW, that explains it.

    D.... W....

    Daniel McCarthy I thought it was funny!

  49. �.... ....

    But not in a _______ way makes it _______

  50. n.... ....

    this so catchy

  51. W.... K....

    it would be creppy of he werent have a boyfriemd now she got two dads and i can imagine season 2 white josh knowing her and her asking "are you the guy that my dad kissed" it will be hillarious,cant wait for season two $2

  52. P.... ....

    And that's why we want a son instead. :p

  53. J.... L....

    Lol oh wow, just change the lyrics and you have a hit country song.

  54. D.... o....

    I think he loves his daughter. This a genius song lyrically.

  55. J.... ....

    by Donald Trump

    J.... ....

    You beat me to it! By a solid 10 months. :(

    J.... ....

    Jade no cause trump loves his daughter in a creepy way

    J.... ....

    Jade Great post. I mean this song belongs to Trump.

    J.... ....

    I need a video of Trump clips with this song.

  56. I.... ....

    Wait what? So Darryl turns out to be Rebecca's dad? HELP ME I'M SKIPPING TOO MUCH EPISODES!!!!!

    I.... ....

    +ILovePsySoMuch no hes singing about his daughter because he wants custody of her due to the divorce. rebecca said dads talking about loving their daughter skeeves her out. probably because her's left her.

    I.... ....

    IAmJustJack lolz you idiot. Ofcourse he not rebeccas dad

    I.... ....

    I was confused because I missed out on a lot of episodes so can you not call me an idiot, fucking rude.

  57. K.... ....

    This is fucking brilliant. The part about her looking like her mum hahaha

  58. C.... ....

    I love this show, but not in a creepy way.

  59. F.... ....

    That's always what I figure having a daughter must be like. Especially the thing where your daughter looks like the person you are sexually attracted too and have/had sex with (aka her mom).

  60. Z.... D....

    I love my mother, but not in a creepy way

  61. N.... S....

    so good

  62. C.... B....

    Good one hahahaha

  63. e.... ....

    Can someone tell me, what he sings on 1:15? I just can not understand it :(

    e.... ....

    +enjay88 "But when it comes to ticklin'/ Weeeeee Hoooooo/ She's bout to get it now"

    e.... ....

    +Shane Kinder Oh thank you so much, now I can totally hear it :)

  64. P.... D....

    This song is worryingly accurate.

  65. T.... ....

    Creepy. I have no doubts that some dumb, country-ass person is going to have this played at her wedding. Yep. No doubts. Break out the Busch and Pabst Blue Ribbon.

  66. S.... P....

    that's just my opinion but, I think if you have to say, "not in a creepy way" its totally in a creepy way.

  67. F.... ....

    I get that for some people this songs is weird and makes them feel uncomfortable. But for me was really funny, maybe is because i don't have a father and i don't get that father-daughter love. (Maybe is Just like Rebecca sees it.)

    F.... ....

    Yeah, for us non-fathered folks we don't really have anyone to attach to the father image and therefore are probably gonna be more comfortable joking about things like this

  68. x.... ....

    I'm 29 and I live with my father, just the two of us... So I absolutely had to share this song with him because it's so fucking hilarious.

    x.... ....

    @Gargoyle Senior It's cool. :)

    x.... ....

    In many part of the world it's not weird. It's only Americans who constantly make fun of adults living with their parents. In most of Europe, it's just a random fact.

    x.... ....

    xmissxandristx lol, I'm in a similar situation. It's made even worse by the fact that my dad doesn't look his age and even though we look identical, people assume I'm his wife 😥

    x.... ....

    i'm guessing you live with your father but not in a creepy way

  69. b.... ....

    Great song. Grats on crazy ex gf.
    Been a fan since i saw you on cracked.

  70. J.... S....

    Ahaha, your best music video yet!

  71. A.... A....

    having a daughter is weeeiird

  72. c.... g....

    Rachel you are amazing. Such great writing

    c.... g....

    +chelsea gray is she the person who writes the songs?

    c.... g....

    I don't know if she writes all of the songs on the show but I know she is a writer and creator of the show! So probably!

  73. A.... G....

    I also love her, but in the creepiest possible way.

  74. K.... H....

    This show is amazing. It is actually funny unlike so many shows now. Rachel is what makes it amazing!!!

  75. B.... ....

    I like how this was somehow the most disturbing song in the episode, despite the fact that the other one actually had Rebecca threatening to kill someone in it.

  76. K.... ....

    Yeeeaah, song of my life, although not about my daughter (since I don't have one yet) but just kids in general.

  77. B.... G....

    The one phrase you can add to anything to make it seem creepy is "but not in a creepy way"

    example: "I like spaghetti, but not in a creepy way."

    B.... G....

    Brad Gilbert I love Crazy Ex Girlfriend, definitely in a creepy way

    B.... G....

    The same exact rule applies to, "I'm not racist, but..."

    B.... G....

    Not to sound racist, but spaghetti lovers are weird.

    B.... G....

    Sometimes I smell my sister’s hair, but not in a creepy way

    B.... G....

    I think you´re right. And thanks for calling that whole verbal mechanism out. You´re smart. In a creepy way.

  78. d.... s....

    oh warner brother's is gonna up you ass. not in a creepy way but a lawsuit kond of way.

    d.... s....

    Cos Warner Bros own cw and blah blah blah blah you mouth

    d.... s....

    +doran stewart stewart Yeah, and they paid her to make this. It's a promo.

    d.... s....

    Yea i figure it out

  79. D.... E....

    they should make a more serious version of this song bc it would make a great father/daughter song

    D.... E....

    This is a parody of an already serious song called "Butterfly Kisses". You should check out that instead.

  80. A.... ....

    Do you get what I Ugggghhhh?!!!

  81. D.... ....

    bahahaha such a good parody of the butterfly kisses music video

  82. B.... F....

    Please keep this fucking show on the air!

  83. C.... ....

    I can imagine my father saying this... but not in a creepy way

  84. W.... ....

    This song is hilarious and creepy.

  85. L.... ....

    This song makes me uncomfortable.

    L.... ....

    Same. It made me want to nervous laugh. But I guess it was the point lol

    L.... ....

    LordOfTheLemon exactly

    L.... ....

    And apparently the demo was creepier!

    L.... ....

    That's the point I guess
