[Verse 1]
You thought you had found a good man
One that'd love you and understand
Now you find that you've been misused
Talk to me, and I'll do what you choose
I want you to
[Chorus]
Tell Daddy all about it
Tell Daddy what you need
Tell Daddy what you want
And I'll make everything alright
[Verse 2]
That man wouldn't pay your rent
He wouldn't even give you a cent
He let the rent man put you outdoors
He wouldn't buy you no changin' clothes
I want you to
[Chorus]
Tell Daddy all about it
Tell Daddy what you need
Tell me what you want
And I'll make everything alright
[Verse 3]
He would embarrass you anywhere
He'd let everybody know he didn't care
Give me a chance, I've been begging you
I just want to take care of you
I want you to
[Chorus, outro]
Tell Daddy all about it
Tell me what you need
Tell me whatcha got to have
Whoa, what you need
Tell Daddy what you want
Tell me, and I'll take care of it
All you gotta do is tell me
