Daddy Thing

Who did the daddy thing?|When her father wasn't there|Who did the daddy thing?|Now usually, it was a cross seat up in the back seat|A tiny shoe swingin' from the rear view|A ring on her hand I could never be her man|But we got so close|Blew all my dough on the Baby Gap school clothes|Pretty little angel in barrettes and bows|And a button nose|After a while started calling me daddy|I should have known that it couldn't last|Should have know that you'd take him right back|I should have took off running when I first saw her comin'|Would have never gotten so attached||[Chorus]|When her father wasn't there to participate he got hit wit a bit up state|When she needed diapers, wipes food and baby food|Won't you tell me who|Who did the daddy thing?|I gave her everything|Who did the daddy thing?|Nobody, nobody but me||Now normally, I would just hit and run|But Cant u see|I'm about you and your little one|I took the jokes form all my folks|How I got caught up playing step daddy|I got my income tax n said fuck it|And traded in your bucket|cus that coop wasn't big enough|I wasn't trying to replace him|Now that he's back around,|Guess that you don't need me now|You don't need me anymore||I should have known that it couldn't last|Should have known that you'd take him right back|I should have took off runnin' when I first saw her comin|Would have never gotten so attached||[Chorus]|When her father wasn't there to participate|He got hit wit a bit upstate|When she needed diapers wipes food and baby shoes|Won't u tell me who (who did it)|Who did the daddy thing?|(I did, I gave her every thing)|Who did the daddy thing?|(Nobody but me)|On the first day of school, holidays|From the very first step she made|When she needed love trust patience and truth|I want you to tell me who|Who did the daddy thing?|(I gave her everything)|Who did the daddy thing?|(Nobody but me)||Long walks with piggy backs and baby cribs and light blue Timbs|I gave it all out of love|(All in the name of love)|Every Christmas, X-Boxes, little dresses, tennis placements|I did it all, all just because|When there was no one, no one|When nobody else was there||[Chorus]|When her father wasn't there to participate he got his wit a bit upstate|When she needed diapers wipes food and baby shoes wont you tell me who|Who did the daddy thing?|(And you know I was the man)|Who did the daddy thing?|(A shoulder to cry on, someone to talk to)|On the first day of school holidays from the very first step she made|When she needed love trust patience and truth I want you to tell me who|Who did the daddy thing?|(Nobody)|When her father wasn't there|Who did the daddy thing?|
