[Intro]
Ba da ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba, ba da ba ba ba
Ba da ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba, ba da ba ba ba
[Verse 1]
"Do not go gentle into that goodnight"
My daddy said as he turned off the light
And early morning on a night in June
I ran down the hall and peeked into his room
[Verse 2]
Through the darkness, I could see his head
He was sippin' a Bud and smokin' a Kent
I climbed up beside him on that rare chance
And together we watched the streetlights dance
[Chorus]
I wanna be daddy's girl, where everything's all right
Throw me in the air, hold me tight
When I grow up I'll be just like you
Daddy's little girl, who loves you too
Ba da ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba, ba da ba ba ba
[Verse 3]
One day I saw him from behind his door
Standing on his bed as the crowd bеgged for more
He and Frankiе, flyin' to the moon
And I knew one day I'd have to learn that too
[Chorus]
I wanna be daddy's girl, where everything's all right
Throw me in the air, hold me tight
When I grow up I'll be just like you
Daddy's little girl, who loves you too
[Bridge]
But in the light of day
The dancing stops, the music it fades
When he went away, I didn't cry
I didn't even say goodbye
Ba da ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba, ba da ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba
Ba da ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba, ba da ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba
[Verse 4]
Like moths to a flame, where the bright lights burn
I'm stamped with a brand each generation's turn
Now I raise my glass to no one in the night
Raging against the dying of the light
[Chorus]
I wanna be daddy's girl, where everything's alright
Throw me in the air, hold me tight
When I grow up I'll be just like you
Daddy's little girl
I wanna be daddy's little girl
Yes I'm daddy's little girl
Through and through
[Outro]
Ba da ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba, ba da ba ba ba
Ba da ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba, ba da ba ba ba
