Daughter

(album: Baby I'm-A Want You - 1972)

Daughter, don't give your love to the first man you see
Just bide your time so your heart will be free
To find the one
Girl, you don't have to run

Daughter, don't think that love has gone out of style
Just some folks every once in a while
Don't understand
How this world was planned

Now I know you're wondering how
You know when the real thing is coming your way
When you live for him and not you
You know that it's truly coming to stay

Daughter (daughter), I know it's hard to make yourself wait (yeah)
But when the right man comes it won't be too late
So don't you cry
He'll be here by and by

Now I know you're wondering how
You know when the real thing is coming your way
When you live for him and not you
You know that it's truly coming to stay

Daughter, I know it's hard to make yourself wait
But when the right man comes it won't be too late
So don't you cry
He'll be here by and by
And steal your heart away
