Your Daddy Loves You Songtext
von Gil Scott‐Heron

Yeah, I′m gonna work with Jack

Now sweet lil ol' brown eyed girl, hey, now
Now that you′re sleepin'
I've got a confession to make
Of secrets that I′ve been keepin′

Me and your mama had some problems
Whole lotta things on our minds
Everytime we look at you
We know that we've been wasting time
Damn near all the time, and

Your daddy loves you
Your daddy loves his girl
Your daddy loves you, loves you
Your daddy loves his girl, sweet thing
Yes he keep you hopin′, you sweet thing

Now sweet lil ol' chocolate girl
Now that you′re sleepin' I feel braver
I′ve got a confession to make
I'll sneak it in while you're dreamin′


Me and your mama had some troubles, lord
Whole lotta things on our minds
Everytime we look at you
We know that we′ve been wastin' time
Damn near all the time, and

Your daddy loves you
Your daddy loves his girl
Your daddy loves you, loves you, loves you
Your daddy loves his girl, loves his girl, loves his girl
Loves his little chocolate girl, do you love your little chocolate girl?
Love my little chocolate girl

I love her, I love my girl
′Cause she keep me thinkin'
Sweet thing, by tomorrow, she keep me hopin′
Sweet thing is watching my road
She keep me holdin', keep me holdin′
Holdin' on, sweet thing
And tomorrow

Me and you mama have some problems
Whole lotta things on our minds, yeah
Everytime we look at you
We know that we've been wastin′ time
Damn near all the time, and


Your daddy loves you
Your daddy loves his girl
Your daddy loves you, loves you, loves you
Your daddy loves his girl, loves his girl, loves his girl
Loves his little chocolate girl, do you love your little chocolate girl?
I love my little chocolate girl

I love her, love my girl
′Cause she keep me thinkin'
Sweet thing, by tomorrow, she keep me hopin′
Sweet thing is watching my road

Remember that I love you
Please remember that I love you
Please remember that I love you
Hard to say sometimes
Hard to say sometimes, hard to say sometimes
But I love you
Your daddy loves you
