Father In You Songtext

Oooh-oooh-oooh
Oooooooooh
Ooooooh

Can I talk to you, baby
dr lj e...m pp
When I was a little girl
I didn’t have a father
And that’s why I’m leaning on you
When I was a baby
I didn’t get a hug from daddy
That’s why I need a hug from you

Oh It’s not easy
And I thank you for putting up with me
When you don’t have a guy’s love
To say that you [to say that I am your little girl]
Are his little girl [Oh why didn’t you love me?]
And give you the love [ I need love yeah yeah yeaah yeah]
You really deserve [ and I believe I deserve and that’s why]
That’s why I need the father in you [I need the father in you baby]
That’s why I need [please don’t hurt me please]
The father in you [ooh]
That’s why I need [Oh that’s why ]
The father in you [really need you ]
That’s why I need [please be true]
The father in you
Oooh

Things got bad
To the point when mommy couldn’t hold us down
And that’s when it hurt me so much to se her [to see her cry]
Oh don’t cry, mama, don’t cry mama
We’re gonna be alright, that’s what I used say
[I said that some day] that I would try to take his place
But it was too hard It was so hard trying be a man and not a woman
and that’s why I need a father
That’s I need [oh I need]
The father in you [I’m puttin’ my trust in you]
That’s why I need [please don’t let me down]
The father in you [oooh]
That’s why I need [oooh I, I, I]
The father in you [ I need the father in you]
That’s why I need[ Hold my hand, oh yeah]
The father in you [oooh]

Because we never had one at home
No no no no
As a little girl
Still I understand, why daddy couldn’t be there
Cuz it’s so obvious nobody taught him how to be a father
Oh, and I’m not saying this to reminisce on the past
I’m just saying this to make you understand that I needed a father
And this is my problem this is why I couldn’t keep no one
This is why I couldn’t stay alone
I was so scared alone
Every woman needs a man
and I don’t think she understands
That she really needs a father
The father in you my brother
Ooooh
She really needed a father
The father in you
When your wife is speaking fellas, pay attention
Yeah, don’t ignore her, no no no
Ooooh
I really need the father in you
