Gil Scott-Heron - Your Daddy Loves You (For Gia Louise) Lyrics






Now sweet lil ol' brown eyed girl, hey, now
Now that you're sleepin'
I've got a confession to make
Of secrets that I've been keepin'
Me and your mama had some problems,
A whole lotta things on our minds
But lately, girl, we've been thinkin' that we were wastin' time
Nearly all the time, and

Your daddy loves you
Your daddy loves his girl
Your daddy loves you
Your daddy loves his girl, hey now

Now sweet lil ol' chocolate girl
Now that you're sleepin' I feel braver
I've got a confession to make
I'll sneak it in while you're dreamin'
Me and your mama had some troubles
There's been a whole lotta things on our minds
But lately when we look at you, we know that we've been wastin' time
Damn near all the time, and

Your daddy loves you
Your daddy loves his girl, hey, now
Said your daddy loves you
Said your daddy loves his girl, hey, now
Your daddy loves you, and your mama, too
Your daddy loves his girl
Loves his girl
Loves his girl

    I certainly empathize with your plight but I refuse to accept that we r equals. see, I am a MAN and a father. No woman can be a father and this song is for us MEN that are raising little women.

    This song came out in 1980 the year my daughter Lisa was born. I used to hold her, look at her and sing this song to her. She recently had my first granddaughter and I sang it to her too. Today, 12-13-14 is her birthday and I thank God that I can still share it with my baby girl. RIP Gil Scott, you were a genius.

    The song was written in 1974.
