Blige, Mary J - Father In You Lyrics
Can I talk to you, baby
When I was a little girl
I didn't have a father
And that's why I'm leaning on you..
I didn't get a hug from daddy
That's why I need a hug from you..
Ohh, It's not easy and
I thank you for putting up with me
When you don't have a daddy's love
To say that you...
To say that I'm your little girl
(Are his little girl, Oh why didn't you love me)
you really deserve (And i believe I deserve it And that's why
[chorus]
That's why I need, The father in you
(I need the father in you, baby)
That's why I need, (Please don't hurt me please)
The father in you
That's why I need (Oh that's why)
The father in you (Really need you)
That's why I need (Please be true)
The father in you
Oh, things got bad, to the point
Where mommy couldn't hold us down
And that's when it hurt me so much
To see her, To see her cry
(Oh don't cry, momma don't cry momma)
Each and every night
(We're gonna be alright that's what I used to say)
I said that some day
That I would try to take his place
But it was too hard;
It was so hard trying to be a man and a woman
And that's why I need the father in you
[chorus]
That's why I need, (oh I needed)
The father in you, (I put my trust on you)
That's why I need, (Please don't let me domn)
The father in you.
That's why I need,
The father in you (I need the father in you)
That's why I need (Hold my hand)
The father in you
[Breakdown]
Because we never had one at home
(No No No) As a little girl...
So I understand, why daddy couldn't be there
Cause it's so obvious nobody taught him, how to be father to me
Oh and I'm not sayin this
to reminisce on the past
I'm just saying this to make you understand, That I needed a father
And this is my problem
This is why I couldn't keep no one
This is why I couldn't stay alone
I was so scared alone
Every woman needs a man
And I don't think she understands
That she really needs a father
The father in you, my brother
She really needed the father
The father in you.
When your wife is speaking fellas
Pay attention,Yeah,don't ignore her
No,no,no I really need the father in you.

Blige, Mary J Father In You Comments
A father wants his daughter to marry a man who respects her
There are women who are satisfied with a man until they have children by him , then they get restless and want to fine some excitement. That is when Everyone life goes too nothing.
When I was 8 months pregnant with my son, my biological father told me I couldn't see him. All because he didn't want his wife knowin' he had outside children. Basically said fuck me and have a nice life. I'll be 31 next week, and that conversation still haunts me.
😢😢😢😢
Fathers are special in the life of their little girls lives and a girl is special to dad!!!
I dedicate this song to my Pop..Willie Lockwood..luv always
Powerful .
Just beautiful Mary..
Singing the pain through the eyes of women....awesomeness girlfriend
A real Father knows how to multitask, he can hold a full time job and spend time with his Children, you better know it!!!
He may have been a daddy, but definitely not a loving Father!!!
I know everyone read these comments but you, you however need to read these.
Love you Mary fa this!❤
She did NOT come to PLAY
When I listen to your music I think it’s your way of sharing your feelings with people. I am sorry you were deprived of what you needed it wasn’t your fathers fault ask your mom!
I swear this is one of my favorites by her. It touches me bc she say father but for me it was mother. Although, my mother is alive our relationship is not good. Never have been and I'm her oldest. At times I still wonder why she gave us to my father but I thank God for having that loving, caring, understanding father. I wouldn't trade him for nothing in the world. I just pray that God will work on me and my mother relationship.

As a man, I identify with this because some men need the mother and the parent in the woman! Treat your kids right so they wont have to sing this with pain!
Sometimes girls try to enter into adulthood before its time and bring children into the world before they are ready to be responsible parents This deprives the child of one or both parents.

Peace to tia and tamera forevere

Campbell. Maria I had a white grandpa...
Thank you Mary
Hell naw Mjb..hit us up...#Ladiesnight. .miss you..doin too much .camplo
I saw Mary perform this in concert. The crowd was full of "Daddys little girls." We were all in tears. Fortunately I grew up with the love of my Father but I felt this song so deeply.
ha ha h a
Her music both cuts us and make us heal at the same time.
My life
I love MJB songs but this one in specific, the lyrics cut like a knife and Mary made you feel every word she sang. She does that with every song she performs and sings. That's why she is my favorite singer ever
Wow. So painful to listen to. Grateful for my Dad. He made me the compassionate, selfless family woman I am. The roots and culture he instilled in me run strong. Now I teach my kids. As he always says, walk with a loving heart, fear nothing or no one but GOD.
Dedicated to my soulmate/soul family/Divine timing purpose partner/lover/helper/opposite of Pisces/Mr K👑g Virgo, My Bhey G.B!💜😘🌟🌅😇😍
My heart yo!
I Got You Baby😘

We serve a God " who is a Father to the fatherless" and He is all we need!! His unconditional love is an overflowing river!!
I so Love this Song. To all the Single Mothers, I need the Father in you.
one of my favorites by her
I love this song but it doesn't apply to me because I had my father. We are all in different situations.
1. Reminds me to stay humble and lift up those who didn't or don't have loving Fathers like we have.
2. Re-enforces me to be thankful for my Dad and my Heavenly Father.
3. Restricts what type of man I allow near my heart .
Totally agree. my dad was here all the time too but I still love this track
this is one of my favorite bey mjb the Queen of hip hop soul she is my favorite oo yasssss
This describes me.. wow!
I broke down yesterday listening to this tb... I been through so much man man😢😢😢
Ms. Murry, I have been through a lot in my life also. The best way I can describe my testimony is you are still standing! Please know whatever God brings to you He will see through it! He is faithful and Just and He is Able!! Please don't give up on God because He won't give up on you!! Be blessed and encouraged!!
Shitisha Pope Thank you for that. You are so right
Likewise & for me, it still hurts like hell
Latoya M You not alone sis. Keep loving and healing yourself like I do. Much love to you. <3
I say Amen to that. Enough said.
True story
