Your Daddy Loves You (For Gia Louise)

(album: Real Eyes - 1980)

Now sweet lil ol' brown eyed girl, hey, now
Now that you're sleeping
I've got a confession to make
Of secrets that I've been keeping
Me and your mama had some problems,
A whole lotta things on our minds
But lately, girl, we've been thinking that we were wasting time
Nearly all the time, and

Your daddy loves you
Your daddy loves his girl
Your daddy loves you
Your daddy loves his girl, hey now

Now sweet lil ol' chocolate girl
Now that you're sleeping I feel braver
I've got a confession to make
I'll sneak it in while you're dreaming
Me and your mama had some troubles
There's been a whole lotta things on our minds
But lately when we look at you, we know that we've been wasting time
Damn near all the time, and

Your daddy loves you
Your daddy loves his girl, hey, now
Said your daddy loves you
Said your daddy loves his girl, hey, now
Your daddy loves you, and your mama, too
Your daddy loves his girl
Loves his girl
Loves his girl
