J. Geils - Little Girl lyrics

He drops his suitcase by the door She knows her daddy won't be back anymore She drags her feet across the floor Trying to hold back time, to keep him holding on And she says... Daddy, daddy, don't leave I'll do anything to keep you right here with me Can't you see how much I need you? Daddy, daddy, don't leave Mommy is saying things she don't mean She don't know what she's talking about, somebody hear me out Father, listen, tell him that he's got a home and he don't have to go Father, save him, I would do anything in return I'll clean my room, try hard in school I'll be good, I promise you Father, Father, I pray to you Now she hasn't slept in weeks She don't want to close her eyes 'cause she's scared that he'll leave They've tried just about everything But it's getting harder now for him to breathe And she says Daddy, daddy, don't leave I'll do anything to keep you right here with me Can't you see how much I need you? Daddy, daddy, don't leave The doctors are saying things they don't mean They don't know what they're talking about, somebody hear me out Father, listen, tell him that he's got a home and he don't have to go Father, save him, I would do anything in return I'll clean my room, try hard in school I'll be good, I promise you Father, Father, I pray to you Please don't let him go I'm begging you so Let him open his eyes, need a lil' more time To tell him that I love him more than anything in the world It's daddy's lil' girl Father, listen, tell him that he's got a home and he don't have to go Father, save him, I would do anything in return I'll clean my room, try hard in school I'll be good, I promise you Father, Father, I pray to you She was daddy's lil' girl
