Daddy's Girl
Emilia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your little girl is really
growing up now
And you will see
That my life will be so fine
And I'm gonna need you
even more now
a woman sometimes
Daddy, daddy
Needing you is natural
And when you're down and low
then I will be there
'Cause you can trust in me
I'll be there for you
Chorus:
I'll always be
My daddy's girl
'Cause that is the way
It was meant to be
My daddy's girl
'Cause that is the way
It was meant to be
Daddy, daddy
You've been calling me
too many times now
Why can't you see
That I have my own life?
But I still love you even stronger
Even if it is in another way
Daddy, daddy
Needing you is natural
And when...
Chorus.
