Daddy's Girl
Cetera Lyrics

When the sun goes down and it's getting late
As the day comes to a close and darkness consumes the sky

You say it's time for bed
You tell her it's time to sleep

She just takes her time
She moves slowly and leisurely

Acting like she never heard a word you said
She pretends to not have heard anything that you said

Little baby want to hold you tight
She desires to embrace and hold you tightly

She don't ever want to say good night
She doesn't want to bid farewell

She's a lover, she want to be Daddy's Girl
She is affectionate and desires to be her father's cherished daughter

When the morning comes
When the day begins

And it's time to go start another day
It's time to start a new day

She won't let you leave, and she does her best
She makes it difficult for you to depart and tries her best to keep you there

To try to make you stay
To persuade you to stay

Pretty baby gonna start to cry
She will begin to shed tears

She don't ever want to say good bye
She doesn't want to say farewell

She's a lover, she want to be Daddy's Girl
She is affectionate and desires to be her father's cherished daughter

She don't ever want to be without you
She never wants to be without you

Never have to worry she won't doubt you
You never have to worry that she will question you

Then she puts her head upon your shoulder
Then she places her head on your shoulder

Says she'll marry you when she get older
She says she will marry you when she grows up

When the time has come, and she's old enough
When she has come of age

To be on her own
To be independent

She won't understand why you're feelin' sad
She won't comprehend why you're feeling sorrowful

'Cause she's leaving you all alone
Because she's leaving you by yourself

Little woman gonna make you cry
Your daughter will make you tearful

You don't ever want to say good bye
You don't want to bid farewell

She's a lady, she'll always be Daddy's Girl
She's a mature woman now, but she will always be her father's cherished daughter

Little woman gonna break your heart
Your daughter will shatter your heart

Gonna miss her when you're both apart
You're going to miss her when you're not together

She's a lady, but she'll always be Daddy's Girl
She's grown up now, but she will always be her father's cherished daughter

She'll always be Daddy's Girl
She will forever be her father's cherished daughter.
