Lyrics

Who's gonna take my daddy's place?
Who will give me lots of love
Who's gonna take my daddy's place?
You're the boy I'm thinkin' of
When I was just a little girl
Sittin' on my daddy's knees
I didn't have a care in the world
'Cause daddy took good care of me
But now I am a big girl
"You're on your own," they say
But even big girls need someone who
Will lead them every step of the way
So, who's gonna take my daddy's place?
Who will give me lots of love
Who's gonna take my daddy's place?
You're the boy I'm thinkin' of
(Now you are a big girl)
("You're on your own," they say)
But even big girls need someone who
Will lead them every step of the way
I need someone to comfort me
When I'm feeling sad and blue
Someone, whenever things go wrong
Will always know what's best to do
I need someone to scold me
Whenever I am bad
Yes, every big girl needs one boy who
Will care like her dear old dad
So, who's gonna take my daddy's place?
Who will give me lots of love
Who's gonna take my daddy's place?
You're the boy I'm thinkin' of
You're the boy I'm thinkin' of
You're the boy I'm thinkin' of
You're the boy I'm thinkin' of
You're the boy I'm thinkin' of
