He drops his suitcase by the door
She knows her daddy won't be back anymore
She drags her feet across the floor
Tryna hold back time to keep him holding on
And she says

Daddy daddy don't leave
I'll do anything to keep you
Right here with me
Can't you see how much I need you

Daddy daddy don't leave
Mommy's saying things she don't mean
She don't know what she's talking about
Somebody hear me out

Father listen
Tell him that he's got a home
And he don't have to go
Father save him
I would do anything in return
I'll clean my room
Try hard in school
I'll be good
I promise you
Father, father
I pray to you

Now she hasn't slept in weeks
She don't want to close her eyes
Cause she's scared that he'll leave
They tried just about everything
It's getting harder now
For him to breathe
And she says

Daddy daddy don't leave
I'll do anything to keep you
Right here with me
Can't you see how much I need you

Daddy daddy don't leave
The doctors are saying
Things they don't mean
They don't know what they talking about
Somebody hear me out

Father (father) listen (listen)
Tell him that he's got a home
And he don't have to go
(don't have to go)
Father (father) save him
I would do anything in return
I'll clean my room
Try hard in school
I'll be good
I promise you
Father, father
I pray to you

Please don't let him go
(don't let him go)
I'm begging you so (I'm begging you so)
There open his eyes
There ain't no more time
To tell him that I love him more
Than anything in the world
Is daddy's little girl

Father (father) listen (listen)
Tell him that he's got a home
And he don't have to go
(don't have to go)
Father (father) save him
I would do anything in return
I'll clean my room
Try hard in school
I'll be good
I promise you
Father, father

She was daddy's little girl
Mmmmm Oh
