Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You can't fool me, I saw you when you came out
You got your mama's taste but you got my mouth
You will always have a part of me
Nobody else is ever gonna see, Gracie girl
[Verse 2]
With your cards to your chest, walkin' on your toes
What you got in the box only Gracie knows
And I would never try to make you be
Anything you didn't really wanna be, Gracie girl
[Verse 3]
Life flies by in seconds, you're not a baby
Gracie, you're my friend
You'll be a lady soon but until then
You gotta do what I say
[Verse 4]
You nodded off in my arms watchin' TV
I won't move you an inch, even though my arm's asleep
One day you're gonna wanna go
I hope we taught you everything you need to know, Gracie girl
[Verse 5]
There will always be a part of me
Nobody else is ever gonna see but you and me
My little girl
My Gracie girl
