Withers, Bill - I'm Her Daddy Lyrics






How do you do, Lucy?
You sure been hard to find.
I heard you had a daughter
Six years old and
I just can't keep from cry'n'.

Six years Lucy, Lord have mercy,
That's a long time, that's a long time.
Is she pretty, has she grown?
Does she sleep well in a room of her own?
Can I see her?
Does she know that I'm her daddy, I'm her daddy?
Did you give her one of my pictures?
Does she carry yeh, yeh, picture with her?
Does she show it to the baby sitter, and say,
“See that man, that's my daddy, that's my daddy?”
You should ‘a told me, Lucy, You should ‘a told me, Lucy,
Yeh, you should ‘a told me, Lucy.

Oh, Lucy. Oh, Lucy. Oh, Lucy. Oh, Lucy.
You should ‘a told me Lucy.

    How do you do, Lucy?
    You sure been hard to find
    I heard you had a daughter six years old
    And I just can keep from crying
    Six years and Lucy
    Lord, have mercy
    That's a long time
    That's a long time
    Is she pretty? Has she grown?
    Does she sleep well in a room of her own?
    Can I see her? Does she know
    That I'm her daddy? I'm her daddy
    Did you give her love, love, one of my pictures?
    Does she carry, yeah, yeah, picture with her?
    Does she show it to the baby sitter
    And say, see that man, that's my daddy
    That's my daddy, yeah
    You should have told me, Lucy
    You should have told me, Lucy
    You should have told me, Lucy
    Poor Lucy, poor Lucy, poor Lucy, oh Lucy
    You should have told me, Lucy
    You should have told me, Lucy

    This is straight up one of my favorite songs of all time. Somehow bill manages to sing the saddest of lyrics in such a soulful, introspective, and positive way. And the instrumentals are incredible. Just love this track.

  4. B.... ....

    This song breaks my heart. I spent five years making an album at my own expense, yet this was the first song I played at the release party in New York City. Bill is the man.

    muito bom viajei

    I waited nearly 18 years to get to see my daughter. Now that she's an adult, she gets to make her own choices about whether she wants to see me or not.

    T.... ....

    She's lucky to have such an empathetic father regardless of time :-)

  8. D.... ....

    Man, I love this song. Glad my grandma has this album or who knows how I would've heard it otherwise.

  9. R.... ....

    Wow sad song on Father's day.

  10. N.... S....

  11. N.... S....

    The best!!!! Deep in my soul!!!!

  12. A.... F....

    WOW... it's been 30 years since I've heard this and it is STILL as meaningful now as it was then....
