[Verse 1]
Now me and my daddy had a falling out
Just about a week ago today
And for almost nothing at all
He's packed his [?] and started away
I pleaded and begged to him, tears in my eyes
Trying to get him not to go
But he frankly told me to my face
That he didn't want me anymore
[Verse 2]
On some of these days, and it won't be long
He's gonna wish for my love, and it'll all be gone
I said some of these days, Lord, and it won't be long
He's gonna wish for my love, and it'll all be gone
[Verse 3]
'Cause I love my daddy, I'll tell the world I do
And it's comin' a time when he's gonna love me too
I said I love my Daddy, and I'll tell the world I do
And it's comin' a time when my daddy's gonna love me too
[Verse 4]
But it's my daddy's turn now, mark what I say
Good luck and good fortune, and it's bound to fall my way
I said it's my daddy's turn now, so just mark what I say
Good luck and good fortune, and it's bound to fall my way
[Verse 5]
'Cause I treated that man better than a mother would
And if he don't have me, it won't do nobody else no good
I said I treated that man even better than a mother would
And if he don't have me, it won't do nobody else no good
Now me and my daddy had a falling out
Just about a week ago today
And for almost nothing at all
He's packed his [?] and started away
I pleaded and begged to him, tears in my eyes
Trying to get him not to go
But he frankly told me to my face
That he didn't want me anymore
[Verse 2]
On some of these days, and it won't be long
He's gonna wish for my love, and it'll all be gone
I said some of these days, Lord, and it won't be long
He's gonna wish for my love, and it'll all be gone
[Verse 3]
'Cause I love my daddy, I'll tell the world I do
And it's comin' a time when he's gonna love me too
I said I love my Daddy, and I'll tell the world I do
And it's comin' a time when my daddy's gonna love me too
[Verse 4]
But it's my daddy's turn now, mark what I say
Good luck and good fortune, and it's bound to fall my way
I said it's my daddy's turn now, so just mark what I say
Good luck and good fortune, and it's bound to fall my way
[Verse 5]
'Cause I treated that man better than a mother would
And if he don't have me, it won't do nobody else no good
I said I treated that man even better than a mother would
And if he don't have me, it won't do nobody else no good
