INTRO x2

Can you stay a little longer?

Won’t you stay a little longer?

Yeah

VERSE 1

Daddy, they say you no good

You’re good enough for me

And you’re a rolling stone, so where you stop is where I’ll be

And if time stops, then maybe we can stay forever

If you don’t leave, and I don’t leave, we can be together

I know I’m asking for more than you can give

But if you listen to my tears, you’ll see

You’ll see, you’ll see that there’s more of you to give

And I’m asking you, Daddy, just—just give a little to me

VERSE 2

Daddy, before I could classify the feeling,

I just—I just loved you from my soul

And I don’t know how deep the well goes

I just love when you around, when you around

But Daddy, why you keep on leaving me?

You not misleading me

I know that you love me, you just don’t know how to show it

No one showed you, you couldn’t show me

And no, you don’t owe me

How could you owe me anything? Daddy, you are my everything

Momma, just let us be

It’s too much pressure

You tryna be a husband, a father, a business owner

Daddy, you just a boy from the county

Remember visiting Granddaddy—was a mean man

You and Uncle talked about how he tied y’all to trees and…

Daddy, them slave whippings

That makes a man different

I know you don’t wanna relive it, I’m just saying I get it

13 candles—my wish has been that y’all wouldn’t fight so much

Daddy, don’t leave not without me

Not without me

Daddy, don’t

You said you wouldn’t

Remember?

I’m still ya lil girl, right?

Me and you vs. the world, right?

You never showed me how to ride this bike

I keep on falling off

Daddy, can you…
