Daddy's Girl

I recall the night that you came into this world I couldn't believe the doctor when he said it's a little girl I said: "Now, Doc, you must be wrong You see, I want a boy" Then he laid you in my arms And my heart sang with joy (Daddy's girl, daddy's girl) (I'm the centre of Daddy's world) (I know I'm Daddy's number one) (For he loves me like I was his son) (Daddy's girl) I recall the time I took you to a baseball game You brought along your baby doll and half its baby things We sat there playin' house, while the Dodgers played the Braves And everyone in the bleachers looked at us, as if to say (Daddy's girl, daddy's girl) (I'm the centre of Daddy's world) (I know I'm Daddy's number one) (For he loves me like I was his son) (Daddy's girl) I recall the day I took you on a fishin' trip You said, "Daddy, won't that hook hurt the fish's lip?" And you said if they don't get air Those things in the can will die So we turned the worms a-loose and chased some butterflies (Daddy's girl, daddy's girl) (I'm the centre of Daddy's world) (I know I'm Daddy's number one) (For he loves me like I was his son) (Daddy's girl) I recall the day that your young man come to call It seems like only yesterday, we swam and played football But I know the time has come That I must set you free But no matter where you are You know what you are to me (Daddy's girl, daddy's girl) (I'm the centre of Daddy's world) (I know I'm Daddy's number one) (For he loves me like I was his son) (Daddy's girl) (Daddy's girl, daddy's girl) (I'm the centre)
