Does Your Daddy Know About Me
Lonestar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well you say your daddy is a real cool dude
And you keep no secrets from him
Well he knows you got a wild hair
Knows your kinda out there
And knows about your crazy friends
And he done found out about the night
You snuck out with the Cadillac keys
But darlin' does your daddy know about me?

Well he knows you been skippin' them Sunday school meetings
He's heard how fast you drive
Knows you got an attitude
Seen your little tattoo
But he lets all that slide
And I bet my boots that he think he knows you from A to Z
But darlin' does your daddy know about me?

Well do you think he's got a clue about the things
We've been doing underneath the moon and stars?
And how the ground starts shakin' from the poundin' of our hearts
Yeah, like a good daddy should he's warned you about the wolves
And told you about the birds and bees
But darlin' does your daddy know about me?

Well do you think he's got a clue about the things
We've been doing underneath the moon and stars?
And how the ground starts shakin' from the poundin' of our hearts
Yeah, like a good daddy should he's warned you about the wolves
And told you about the birds and bees




But darlin' does your daddy know about me?
Yeah darlin' does your daddy know about me?
