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
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

She was daddy's lil' girl

it made me cry =(
but yeah. the meaning i think
is that the dad is going to die,
and his daughter is pretty much
upset about it.
orr..
hes leaving home.
now I'm not really into R&B but this song touched my so deep. Havin a life with more than 1 father is hard and just picturing a girl showing so much emotion for his father to let him know shes worth something for him.
Anyways..to me I think this song is about a fathers daughter whos only light and hope is his father but the relationship between the mother and father arent working out so the father tends to leave because he cant stand it anymore but the daughter wants him to stay and now she will do anything in order for him to stay with the family.
To me...this song means true love within a family.
theonekorean pretty much nailed it.
then the 2nd verse theres an older woman and her father is in a hospital bed and hes obviously dying, and before he dies he places a kiss on his 2 fingers and puts them on her forehead.
and then in the hook, its a teenage girl who's father is going away to the army. the father kisses his 2 fingers, places them on her forehead and then salutes to her.
it touched me so much, i cried for days about it.
