(Verse 1)
Daddy, I know that I am no longer a child
But daddy, when I think about the times that we’ve had
I can’t help but smile, like the very first time
You tried to comb my hair, or the first day of school
You didn’t leave me there, my daddy
Nobody can ever take your place

(Chorus)
No matter where I go or what I do
I can hold my own because of you
You taught me how to be and act like a lady
To never let no man take control of me
When I was scared at night you were there
Never hesitate to show me you care
That’s why I’m daddy’s lil girl
And I will always be your little girl (little girl)

(Verse 2)
Daddy, you know you are the reason why I sing
Cuz you made sure that I never wanted for anything
And when my friends tried to tell me I was poor
You said "No, that’s just my little girl; I’d give her the world"
And he did, everyone should have a daddy just like this

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)
Because every girl needs the love of a father
That’s why I’m so glad to have you in my life

(Chorus)
