Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Are you okay if I just sing this song real quick?

Yeah, like loud

I sing generally pretty loud

Sing loud again

Ok, here we go

[Verse 2]

Lately I've been going through changes

I've been doing a little light rearranging

Blew up my whole life, I'm not complaining

Just thought I'd start with some honesty

[Verse 3]

I used to only be concerned with my career getting bigger

I started zooming out and seeing big pictures

I started focusing on my father figure and I see things a little differently

[Verse 4]

'Cause I got a daughter now

The most perfect tiny human

I got a daughter now

No idea what I'm doing

But the way that she smiles and the way that she laughs

Gives me some kind of peace like I never had

I guess I see what all the fuss is about

'Cause I got a daughter

I got a daughter now

[Verse 5]

And if I'm honest I love it

I wear dumb clothes now and I'm like what of it

There are innumerable things that I'm no longer above

That's more than fine with me, yeah

[Verse 6]

If that jar is stuck hand it here I can handle it

If that knee's scraped baby I can examine it

Judge me till you walk a mile in my socks and my sandals, kid

[Verse 7]

'Cause I got a daughter now

And she is everything to me

I got a daughter now

And suddenly I cry in movies

And the way that she smiles and the way that she laughs

Gives me some kind of peace like I never had

Guess I see what all the big whoop is about

'Cause I got a daughter

I got a daughter now

[Verse 8]

Yeah, I got a daughter now

[Verse 9]

Like I said I started making some changes

I said no to some radio stations

I made some time for some family vacations

'Cause that's who I wanna be

'Cause my biggest fan doesn't care if I'm famous

Even though the people know what my name is

Yeah like I said I started making some changes

To be who I want to be

[Verse 10]

'Cause I got a daughter now

And she is everything to me

I got a daughter now

And no idea what I'm doing

But the way that she smiles and the way that she laughs

Gives me some kind of peace like I never have had

I guess I see a bit different than now, oh yeah

I guess I understand what all the fuss is about

'Cause I got a daughter

I got a daughter now

[Verse 11]

I got a daughter now
