Daddy by Beyoncé
I remember when you use to take me
On a bike ride everyday on the bayou
(You remember that? We were inseparable)
And I remember when you could do no wrong
You'd come home from work
And I jumped in your arms when I saw you
(I was so excited)
I was so happy to see you (so happy to see you)
Because you loved me I overcome (yeah)
And I'm so proud of what you've become (yeah)
You've given me such security
No matter what mistakes I know you're there for me
You cure my disappointments and you heal my pain
You understood my fears and you protected me
Treasure every irreplaceable memory and that's why
I want my unborn son to be like my daddy
I want my husband to be like my daddy
There is no one else like my daddy
And I thank you (thank you) for loving me...
I still remember the expression on your face
When you found out I'd been on a date
And had a boyfriend
(My first boyfriend, you should have seen your face)
I still remember
I caught you crying cause of my tattoo
Could have said Beyonce I told you so
Instead you said you'd get one too
(Even my mama said y'all get one just like mine)
Words can't express my boundless gratitude for you
I appreciate what you do
You've given me such security
No matter what mistakes I know you're there for me
You cure my disappointments and you heal my pain
You understand my fears and you protected me
Treasure every extraordinary memory and that's why
(I want) My unborn son to be like my daddy
I want my husband to be like my daddy
There is no one else like my daddy
And I thank you (thank you) for loving me
Even if my man broke my heart today
No matter how much pain I'm in I will be okay
'Cause I got a man in my life that can't be replaced
For this love is unconditional it won't go away
I know I'm lucky
Know it ain't easy
For men who take care of their responsibilities
Love is overwhelming
Lord why did you pick me
Can't stop my tears from falling
I love you so much daddy
(Thank you, you've done so much for me)
(I love you, daddy)
I get so emotional daddy, every time I think of you
I get so emotional daddy, every time I think of you
There is no one else like my daddy
No one else replace my daddy...
