Lyrics
- Maybe I’m right and maybe I’m wrong
But I fell in love when you came along
I don’t know what it is I see
That makes you look so good to me
Maybe your eyes don’t mean what they say
Maybe there’s someone else in the way
If I only knew, I was sure of you
All my worries would be through
Chorus:
I want a Daddy like you
A nice, sweet Daddy like you
Oh! if you only knew how I love you
I know you’d kind-a want-a stick around me, too
And with a Daddy so true
I know I’d never be blue
If I can’t have you bye and bye
I’m goin’ to sit right down and cry, and maybe die
If I don’t get a Daddy like you
- Maybe I’ll win you, Maybe I won’t
It’s not going to be my fault if I don’t
You’ve kept me guessing that is true
I don’t know what to make of you
Sometimes I think you want to be mean
Still you’re the sweetest boy that I’ve seen
I’m so glad we met and I’d like to bet
That I’m going to get you yet
