Daddy Thing

Now usually

If there's a car seat

Up in the back seat

Or a tiny shoe swinging from the rear view mirror

A ring on her hand

I could never be her man

But we got so close

Blew all my dough in the Baby Gap school clothes

Pretty little angel in berets and bows

And a button nose

After a while started calling me daddy

I should've known that it could'nt last

Should've known that you'd take him right back

I should've took off running

When I first saw her coming

Would have never gotten so attached

When her father wasn't there to participate

He got hit with a bid upstate

When she needed diapers,wipes,food,and baby shoes

Won't you tell me

Who did the daddy thing?

I gave her everything

Who did the daddy thing?

Nobody nobody but me

Now normally

I would just hit and run

But can't you see

I'm about you and your little one

I took the jokes from all of my folks

How I got caught up playing step daddy

I got my income tax

And said fuck it

And traded in your bucket

Cause that coupe wasn't big enough

I wasn't trying to replace him

Now that he's back around

Guess you don't need me now

You don't need me anymore

I should've known that it could'nt last

Should've known that you'd take him right back

I should've took off running

When I first saw her coming

Would have never gotten so attached

When her father wasn't there to participate

He got hit with a bid upstate

When she needed diapers,wipes,food,and baby shoes

Won't you tell me

Who did the daddy thing?

I gave her everything

Who did the daddy thing?

Nobody but me

On her first day of school

Holidays from the very first steps she made

When she needed love, trust, patience and truth

I want you to tell me

Who did the daddy thing?

I gave her everything

Who did the daddy thing?

Nobody but me

Longs walks with

Piggy backs and

Baby cribs and light blue Timbs

I did it all out of love(all in the name of love)

Every christmas

Xbox's little dresses

Tennis braclets

I did all

All just because

When there was no one(no one)

When nobody else was there for her

When her father wasn't there to participate

He got hit with a bid upstate

When she needed diapers,wipes,food,and baby shoes

Won't you tell me

Who did the daddy thing?

And you know I was the man

Who did the daddy thing?

A shoulder to cry on

Someone to talk to

On her first day of school

Holidays from the very first steps she made

When she needed love, trust, patience, and truth

I won't you to tell me

Who did the daddy thing?

When her father wasn't there

Who did the daddy thing?
