Lyrics The Marvelettes

The Marvelettes

My Daddy Knows Best

My daddy told me that boys may say some things that aren't true

Yeah, they promise many sweet things that they never intend to do

Whoa, you say your love is strong

And you'll never do me wrong

But let me tell you that

My daddy told me to open up my eyes and not be blind

Well, cause everytime I look at you, everything you do seems so fine

Whoa, I love you so

But I'll let you go

Unless you get out and get a job

Whoa get out and get a job

I'm gonna wait 'til you pass the test

Cause my daddy knows best

My daddy knows best now

He doesn't want me to make the same mistakes

He says romance without finance can be a nuisance

I need your loving but

My daddy told me

Yes he told me that our love is fine

Whoa, but don't let it mislead you

Cause daddy also said that love is blind

While you're in poolrooms

You should be in school rooms

And get out and get a job

Whoa get out and get a job

I'm gonna wait 'til you pass the test

Cause my daddy knows best

I don't' care what you say

We've got to do it his way

Don't say that he's mean

I'll have to tell him everything
