Daddy, well I've been waitin' On that new boy to smile Every second, anticipation Heart beats fast just like a child Surely I've been raised So I'm waiting for your loving arms around me so tight And I'll be so surely grateful when you hold me through the night My momma, well she once told me Find a man and keep him close But that man, well he once told me He'd rather choke than be tied to a woman So I guess I'll just sit here waitin' For your smile to turn on the sun I'd rather be alone in the dark Then my daddy walk in on someone [Chorus] And I say, oh daddy, you got me good And I say, oh daddy, just like you would Just hold me a little longer, I'm almost satisfied Don't go so soon while my tongue is still tied And I say, oh daddy, well I'm in trouble now that you're gone So hold me and let us sleep in Safely through the night When I wake up, I was just a dreamin' But the sun is shining bright So I guess I'm just sitting here waitin' For your face to shine a grin Better safe with my daddy Then some strange man to take me in [Chorus] And I say, oh daddy, I'm in trouble now that you're gone And I say, oh daddy, I'm in trouble now that you're gone
