I buy toys for my little girl almost every day

To try and keep her happy since her daddy went away

But today she looked so lonely as she climbed opon my knees

And in her sweet tiny voice she said this to me

Mommy I love you and all of my toys but I want a daddy like the other girls and boys

Then she gave me her pennies her nickels and dimes

And the next thing she told me broke this heart of mine

Buy me a daddy he don't have to be new just as long as he loves me any daddy will do

And we'll make him promise daddy won't go away

Please buy me a daddy let's go get one today

Buy me a daddy let's go get one today
