A little girl being raised by a single dad
Beats the misconception by women that men don't go through that
He tries his hardest to be the best father that he can
Suffocating daily, it's her who lets Daddy breathe again
Mom ain't in the picture, but yo he doesn't hate women
Great women do exist, some just let you stay wounded
A little part of him's a little part of her
And he loves her, so that means he loves himself because of her
Prior to her he thought he had a worthless life, right
Everyday he looks forward to turning off her nightlight
Kisses on the cheek for his little queen and maybe one or two bedtime stories before she goes to sleep
Hoping that she doesn't grow to fast for him to hold her dear
Cos honestly, his daughter's the reason he doesn't hold a beer
Hard to do in this gloomy, depressing weather
But his sunshine is next to him always making it better

No one ever will love you like daddy does
Number one man, holding your hand until the end, no matter what
No one ever will love you like daddy does
No one else no matter what
And he wonders what he'll tell her when she grows up
And that's about the reasons why her mother never showed up
Hoping that she never asks, he knows it's hopeless
Hoping that emotion is something that she can cope with
But for now he'll just embrace this moment that they gave to him
Growing up so quick, it's been three years since she came to earth
And here's the part that makes her daddy go mad nuts:
He didn't know 'bout her 'til she was ten and a half months
Without grandma, things would've been too wild
Can't even wash his own clothes, found out he had a child
But responsibility hit him critically early on
Viewing it artistically, probably his best work so far
A little help from someone he doesn't know that well
Collaborating, make this little queen's perfect outer shell
Without the flaws of either of them, so innocent
Daddy blocks the negative, using love as an instrument

No one ever will love you like daddy does
Number one man, holding your hand until the end, no matter what
No one ever will love you like daddy does
No one else no matter what
He's trying to raise the qualities of a lady
One of those one of a kind women you don't see much lately
So he borrows a couple of traits from his own mother see, cos she's the strongest women he knows so, it fits properly
Too many kids are the byproduct of lust
And very rarely are they made originally out of love
Which is why they be hurting cos they become a burden
And ever since day one they've been living with one person
And the absence of the other isn't normal
And the other kids at school have both their parents there at home, though
These are the thoughts that go through her daddy's mind at times when he's intertwined in his blanket alone at night
Maybe he's thinking a little bit just too far ahead
Kisses on the cheek for his little queen before going to bed
Turns off her nightlight, looks up to the bright sky and thinks about the words that he'll say to her when the time's right

No one ever will love you like daddy does
Number one man, holding your hand until the end, no matter what
No one ever will love you like daddy does
No one else no matter what
No matter what
(No one ever will love you like daddy does
Number one man, holding your hand until the end, no matter what
No one ever will love you like daddy does
No one else...)
