Daddy's Gonna Make Me a Star

Well, I'm not like the all other girls you see Fancy clothes, going out every Saturday But that stuff really don't ever bother me 'Cause daddy's gonna make me a star Nine years old, I first knew we weren't like the rest Lying low, keeping quiet to avoid the mess But I knew even then that I was blessed 'Cause daddy's gonna make me a star Well, we're going down, down, down to the city ground To the city ground is where we're going down They're gonna be dumbfound when they hear my sound They're gonna paint my face all over town They're gonna feel that groove when they hear my song They're gonna turn it up and sing along They'll be dancing all night, all night long Well, times are tough, life is hard that much is true Feeding babies, never what I wanted to do But I know there's no need to be feeling blue 'Cause daddy's gonna make me a star Well, we're going down, down, down to the city ground To the city ground is where we're going down They're gonna be dumbfound when they hear my sound They're gonna paint my face all over town They're gonna feel that groove when they hear my song They're gonna turn it up and sing along They'll be dancing all night, all night long Well, we're going down, down, down to the city ground To the city ground is where we're going down They're gonna be dumbfound when they hear my sound They're gonna paint my face all over town They're gonna feel that groove when they hear my song They're gonna turn it up and sing along They'll be dancing all night, all night long Ooh, years have passed, not a soul even knows my name Losing out seems to be my only winning game If I just close my eyes, I still hear him saying "Girl, daddy's gonna make you a star"
