Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

How do you do Lucy?
You sure been hard to find
I heard you had a daughter
Six years old and I
Just can keep from cryin'

Six years and Lucy oh Lord have mercy
That's a long time

That's a long time...

Is she pretty?
Has she grown?
Does she sleep well in a room of her own?
Can I see her?
Does she know...
Yeah I'm her daddy
I'm her daddy...

Did you give her one of my pictures?
Does she carry yeah the picture with her?
Does she show it to the baby sitter and say see that man that's my daddy
That's my daddy yeah

You should have told me Lucy

You should have told me Lucy
You should have told me Lucy

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mario Biondi's song "I'm her daddy" detail a conversation between two individuals, likely a man and a woman. The man addresses the woman, Lucy, who he has not seen in six years. He acknowledges that he has heard she has a daughter, and he cannot stop himself from crying. He asks about the daughter's appearance, sleeping habits, and if she knows who he is. The man then questions if Lucy has given the daughter a picture of him and if she carries it with her. He ends by expressing that Lucy should have told him about their daughter.

The song conveys the weight of the emotions and missed connections that can come with being a parent. The man is devastated by the length of time he has missed out on, and his inquiries about his daughter show a longing to connect with her. He reveals a vulnerable side, openly weeping at the thought of his daughter. Lucy's reluctance to inform him of their child implies a sense of shame or fear, perhaps stemming from the dynamics of their previous relationship. Overall, the lyrics capture the complexity of parenthood and its impact on life.
