Lyrics
Verse 1
You got a new bike
Riding down the hill.
Look, ?No hands?!
You take a spill.
You?ve bruised your pride
Skinned both knees.
It tears me up inside
When you say, ?Please??
Chorus
Daddy, Make it go away
Daddy, Feels like the pain is here to stay
Baby, Your eyes are shining bright.
I?ll wrap my loving arms around you
Tell you, ?Baby,
daddy?s girl is going to be alright?.
Verse 2
17 years old
You became a wife.
After all I?ve said,
It?s still your life.
Now he?s walked away
After 3 long years.
It breaks my heart
To hear you cry through the tears?
Chorus 2
Daddy
Make it go away
Daddy, Feels like the pain is here to stay
Baby, I know you don?t know what to do.
Put your head upon my shoulder
Pretty Baby,
daddy?s always here for you.
Bridge
When you were born
You changed my life
You opened up my world.
Even though you?ve moved away
You?ll always be my little girl.
Verse 3
California called
You had to go.
You?re so far away.
I love you so.
Now you?ve lost your job
And you don?t know why.
You call me up
I can hear you cry?
Chorus
Daddy, Make it go away
Daddy, Feels like the pain is here to stay
Baby, Your eyes are shining bright.
I?ll wrap my loving arms around you
Tell you, ?Baby,
daddy?s girl is going to be alright?.
Chorus 2
Daddy
Make it go away
Daddy, Feels like the pain is here to stay
Baby, I know you don?t know what to do.
Put your head upon my shoulder
Pretty Baby,
daddy?s always here for you.
