I Don't Like That Part

(álbum: Right From My Soul - 2019)

My baby girl
You changed my world
When you came into my life
'Cause daddy was a mess
Had a hole in his chest
Girl you gave me life

Me and your mama didn't work out
Too busy listening to folks at the church house
If I could go back in time
I'd use my own mind
And I wouldn't be so hurt now

'Cause I like picking you up, taking you to practice
Watching you do your thing in gymnastics
Or riding round with the music blasting
Having a ball singing and laughing
But I hate taking you home, waving goodbye
Can't tuck you in bed or kiss you goodnight
It's like taking a dagger right through my heart
I don't like that part
I don't like that part

Wasn't that long
But mama moved on
And you're a big sister now
I don't like it one bit
But I gotta accept
There's another man in your house

And this life of an entertainer keeps me going
On the road doing shows while you keep on growing
I heard you call him daddy one time
And I damn near lost my mind

'Cause I like picking you up, taking you to practice
Watching you do your thing in gymnastics
Or riding round with the music blasting
Having a ball singing and laughing
But I hate taking you home, waving goodbye
Can't tuck you in bed or kiss you goodnight
It's like taking a dagger right through my heart
I don't like that part
I don't like that part

If I could turn back the hands of time
I'd gladly press rewind
I'd give your mom that ring I bought
I wouldn't hesitate this time
I hate that things have to be this way
I'm not with you every day
But now I gotta live with this choice I made
So every night my heart aches

'Cause I like picking you up, taking you to practice
Watching you do your thing in gymnastics
Or riding round with the music blasting
Having a ball singing and laughing
But I hate taking you home, waving goodbye
Can't tuck you in bed or kiss you goodnight
It's like taking a dagger right through my heart
I don't like that part

When I can't tuck you in at night baby
When I can't see the sunrise with you baby
I don't like that part
I wanna fight the monster under your bed
I wanna be the one
I don't like that part
Fellas if you hear me, hear me sing it
Fathers if you hear me, hear me sing it
I don't like that part
I don't like that part
