From:
Can I talk to you, baby
When I was a little girl
I didnīt have a father
And thatīs why Iīm leaning on you..
When I was a baby
I didnīt get a hug from daddy
Thatīs why I need a hug from you..
Ohh, Itīs not easy and
I thank you for putting up with me
When you donīt have a daddyīs love
To say that you...
To say that Iīm your little girl
(Are his little girl, Oh why didnīt you love me)
And give you the love..(I need love yeah yeah yeah)
you really deserve (And i believe I deserve it And thatīs why
[Chorus]
Thatīs why I need, The father in you
(I need the father in you, baby)
Thatīs why I need, (Please donīt hurt me please)
The father in you
Thatīs why I need (Oh thatīs why)
The father in you (Really need you)
Thatīs why I need (Please be true)
The father in you
Oh, things got bad, to the point
Where mommy couldnīt hold us down
And thatīs when it hurt me so much
To see her, To see her cry
(Oh donīt cry, momma donīt cry momma)
Each and every night
(Weīre gonna be alright thatīs what I used to say)
I said that some day
That I would try to take his place
But it was too hard;
It was so hard trying to be a man and a woman
And thatīs why I need the father in you
[chorus]
Thatīs why I need, (oh I needed)
The father in you, (I put my trust on you)
Thatīs why I need, (Please donīt let me domn)
The father in you.
Thatīs why I need,
The father in you (I need the father in you)
Thatīs why I need (Hold my hand)
The father in you
[Breakdown]
Because we never had one at home
(No No No) As a little girl...
So I understand, why daddy couldnīt be there
Cause itīs so obvious nobody taught him, how to be father to me
Oh and Iīm not sayin this
to reminisce on the past
Iīm just saying this to make you understand, That I needed a father
And this is my problem
This is why I couldnīt keep no one
This is why I couldnīt stay alone
I was so scared alone
Every woman needs a man
And I donīt think she understands
That she really needs a father
The father in you, my brother
She really needed the father
The father in you.
When your wife is speaking fellas
Pay attention,Yeah,donīt ignore her
No,no,no I really need the father in you.
