think I can tell you that first sentence
but then iām lost
I canāt begin to count the theories
I had pounded in my head that I forgot
I donāt remember all that spanish
or the gettysburg address
but there is one speech from high school
iāll never forgot
chorus:
come on in boy, sit on down
and tell me ābout yourself
so you like my daughter, do you now
yeah we think sheās something else
sheās her daddyās girl and her mamaās world
she deserves respect, thatās what sheāll get, aināt it son
now yāall run along and have some fun
iāll see you when you get back
bet iāll be up all night
still cleaning this gun
well now that iām a father
iām scared to death one day my daughterās gonna find
that teenage boy I used to be
who seems to have just one thing on his mind
sheās growing up so fast it wonāt be long
āfore iāll have to put the fear of god
into some kid at the door
(repeat chorus)
itās all for show, aināt nobody gonna get hurt
itās just a daddy thing, hey believe me man, it works
(repeat chorus)
