Daddy's Little Girl Lyrics

[Verse 1:]
He drops his suitcase by the door
She knows her daddy won't be back anymore
She drags her feet across the floor
Tryna hold back time to keep him holding on
And she says

[Pre Chorus:]
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's saying things she don't mean
She don't know what she's talking about
Somebody hear me out

[Chorus:]
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

[Verse 2:]
Now she hasn't slept in weeks
She don't want to close her eyes cause she's scared that he'll leave
They tried just about everything
It's getting harder now
For him to breathe
And she says

[Pre Chorus:]
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 talking about
Somebody hear me out

[Chorus:]
Father (father) listen (listen)
Tell him that he's got a home and he don't have to go (don't have to go)
Father (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

[Hook:]
Please don't let him go (don't let him go)
I'm begging you so (I'm begging you so)
There open his eyes
There ain't no more time
To tell him that I love him more
The many thing in the world
Is Daddy's little girl

[Chorus:]
Father (father) listen (listen)
Tell him that he's got a home and he don't have to go (don't have to go)
Father (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

this song is so sadd. 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.

hes leaving home.

An error occured.

wow how come nobody commented on this song?? 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.

An error occured.

To me, this song is a father's importance in not only his daughter's life, but in general, his children's. Each verse plays an important scenerio in which a girl is about to lose her beloved father... whether it be physically, emotionally and/or mentally. This song is the girl's plea to keep her father by her side...

This song really hits home.

theonekorean pretty much nailed it.

this song is my life story from the time my father walked out on my mom to the time he got cancer and eventually died from it

aww i am sorry

An error occured.

i think it's about the different things that happen from the parents relationship not working to her thinking it's her fault that he's leaving feeling helpless. to him dying and her still feeling helpless. it's showing the love his daughter feels for him. sad but beautiful song.

An error occured.

in the music video for this, the first verse, theres a little girl hiding under a table watching her mother and father arguing and then her father walks out but before he does he places a kiss on 2 of his fingers and puts them on her forehead. 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.

An error occured.

Mann When This Song First Came Out I Had Just Found Out My Dad Had Cancer (Ina Bull Shit Way To No One Told My I Had To Find Out On My Own) But I Remember Every Night I Would Cry And Made Just About Every Promise Mentioned In This Song Before Even Hearing It. After I Heard It I Was A Mess...
