Oh Daddy,
You know you make me cry,
How can you love me,
I don’t understand why.
Oh Daddy,
If I can make you see,
If there’s been a fool around,
It’s got to be me.
Oh Daddy,
You soothe me with your smile,
You’re letting me know,
You’re the best thing in my life.
Oh Daddy,
If I can make you see,
If there’s been a fool around,
It’s got to be me.
Why are you right when I’m so wrong,
I’m so weak but you’re so strong,
Everything you do is just alright,
And I can’t walk away from you, baby
If I tried.
