Dad I've been looking for you
In every man that I've loved
And I'm trying to figure out
Why I'm not good enough
They never stick around
Every time I think I've found
You, you, you
Why didn't you love me
Couldn't be there, couldn't be true
Why didn't you love me
The only man that I needed was you
Nobody to call me beautiful
Set the standards for men so I would know
What I deserve
Instead you deserted me
First man to run
First man to leave
Why weren't you man enough
Now every man seems just like you
A big ass disappointment
A love that ain't true
Messing with so many boys
Always trying to fill that void
Staying out on the scene
Cause I need attention
Can't be another man's queen
I was never daddy's princess
A problem I didn't create
No, you created me
But you, you
You didn't love me
These girls aren't loving themselves
Because their fathers aren't there
So she'll give her love to any man
Who tells her that he cares
Babies having babies
Failing to love on our ladies
Then the fathers leave
Failing to raise our men
And the cycle
It starts all over again
Oh, no no no, no no, no no
Dad you broke my heart before any man could
Now I'm stuck with daddy issues
And I don't know what to do
Searching for love in this cold world
'Cause I never got no love from you
Why didn't you love me
Couldn't be there, couldn't be true
You could've just loved me
The only man that I needed was you
