Patti LaBelle - Yo Mister lyrics

Oh, mister how's your daughter? You really ought to know For every thing you taught her Don't matter when she's all alone My crazy friend named Cara After all of us told her,?No? S-s-she'd get another spoon ball Now, she's going no where slow Her papa caught her for the first time And put her out on the street Cara told me to remind him That she was only seventeen Yo, mister how's your daughter? How's your girl? You really ought to know Every thing you taught her It don't matter when she's all alone Cara got hooked up with the wrong kids Then s-s-she started skipping school Then Cara got high to make disappear A world full of fools In her eyes her father was the biggest fool of them all And she was speeding, that's what she'd say Maybe, maybe, maybe she wouldn't talk so stupid If she knew how much she needed this fool today Yo, mister how's your daughter? You really ought to know For every thing you taught her Don't matter when she's all alone She needs you right now mister 'Cause she ain't got long to live It's so easy to say,?I love you? But it's harder to forgive Her father cried when I told him that Cara twice got knocked up He said,?Just like her mama, aha, she shows her body When she wants to show love, she tried that stuff with me And I beat her down, there's no way I could let her stay Couldn't let her stick around? 'Cause I tried so hard to raise her right He said,?What made her turn out this way?, I don't know What made her turn out this way, I don't know, I don't know And I said and I said and I said Yo, mister how's your daughter? You really ought to know, every thing Every thing you taught her Don't matter when she's all alone But she needs you right now mister She ain't got long to live It's easy to say,?I love you? But it's harder to forgive (How's your daughter tonight?) Yo, mister how's your daughter? (How's your daughter tonight?) Yo, mister how's your daughter? (How's your daughter tonight?) Yo, mister how's your daughter? (How's your daughter tonight?) Yo, mister how's your daughter? (How's your daughter tonight?)
