Oh, it's daddy, daddy, daddy, it's daddy, daddy, all the time
Lord, that's daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, all the time
If I'm awake or if I'm dreamin' Lord, my daddy daddy's on my mind
Well, I brag 'bout my daddy to all the women that I see
Yeah, I brag 'bout my daddy to all the women that I see
Never say those damn women Lord
They're tryin' to steal my daddy away from me
That's my daddy, daddy, daddy, Lord, it's daddy, daddy, all the time
That's my daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, all the time
If I'm awake or just dreamin' Lord, daddy daddy's on my mind
Well, if your daddy likes walkin', honey, walks five miles a day
Yeah, if your daddy likes walkin', walks five miles a day
No matter what he wants, child, he walks off far way
Oh, it's daddy, daddy, daddy, Lord, it's daddy, daddy, all the time
It's my daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, all the time
If I'm awake or if I'm dreamin' Lord, daddy daddy's on my mind
Well, I got a lovin' daddy, treats me like a daddy should
Yeah, I got a lovin' daddy, treats me like a daddy should
You know he kisses me at bed time, gives me candy when I'm good
Oh, it's daddy, daddy, daddy, Lord, it's daddy, daddy, all the time
Lord, it's daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, all the time
If I'm awake or if I'm dreamin' Lord, my daddy daddy's on my mind
