Oooh-oooh-oooh
Oooooooooh
Ooooooh
Can I talk to you, baby
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
