Daddy's Girl

I recall the night that you came into this world. I couldn't believe the doctor when he said: "It's a little girl." I said: "Now Doc you must be wrong, You see I want a boy." Then he laid you in my arms and my heart filled with joy. Daddy's girl, Daddy's girl, I'm the centre of Daddy's world. I know I'm Daddy's number one for he loves me like I was son. Daddy's girl. I recall the day I took you to a baseball game. you brought along your baby doll and half its' baby things. We sat there a-playin' house, while the Dodgers played the Braves. And everyone in the bleachers looked at us as if to say. Daddy's girl, Daddy's girl, I'm the centre of Daddy's world. I know I'm Daddy's number one for he loves me like I was son. Daddy's girl. I recall the day I took you on a fishin' trip, You said: 'Daddy won't that hook hurt the fishes lip?" And you said if they don't get air those things in the can will die. So we turned the worms all loose and chases some butterflies. Daddy's girl, Daddy's girl, I'm the centre of Daddy's world. I know I'm Daddy's number one for he loves me like I was son. Daddy's girl. I recall the day that your young man came to call. Seems like only yesterday we swam and played football. But I know the time has come, that I must set you free. but no matter where you are you know what you are to me. Daddy's girl, Daddy's girl, I'm the centre of Daddy's world. I know I'm Daddy's number one for he loves me like I was son. Daddy's girl.
