My daddy told me |
|
That boys may say some things that aren't true |
|
Yeah, they promise many sweet things |
|
That they never intend to do |
|
Whoa, you say your love is strong |
|
And you'd never do me wrong |
|
But let me tell you that |
|
My daddy told me |
|
To open up my eyes and not be blind |
|
Well, 'cause every time I look at you |
|
Everything you do seems so fine |
|
Whoa, I love you so but I have to let you go |
|
Unless you get out and get a job |
|
Whoa, get out and get a job |
|
I'm gonna wait 'til you pass the test |
|
'Cause my daddy knows best |
|
Oh, my daddy knows best now, oh |
|
He doesn't want me to make, no, no, no, no, no, no |
|
The same mistakes, no, no, no, no |
|
He says, "Romance without finance |
|
Can be a nuisance" |
|
I need your loving but my daddy told me |
|
Yes, he told me that our love is fine |
|
Whoa, but don't let it mislead you |
|
'Cause daddy also said that love is blind |
|
While you're in pool rooms |
|
You should be in school rooms |
|
And get out and get a job |
|
Whoa, get out and get a job |
|
I'm gonna wait 'til you pass the test |
|
'Cause my daddy knows best |
|
Oh, I don't care what you say |
|
We've got to do it his way |
|
Don't say that he's mean |
|
I'll have to tell him everything |
