The Marvelettes - My Daddy Knows Best lyrics

rate me

My daddy told me<br />

That boys may say some things that aren't true<br />

Yeah, they promise many sweet things<br />

That they never intend to do<br />

<br />

Whoa, you say your love is strong<br />

And you'd never do me wrong<br />

But let me tell you that<br />

<br />

My daddy told me<br />

To open up my eyes and not be blind<br />

Well, 'cause every time I look at you<br />

Everything you do seems so fine<br />

<br />

Whoa, I love you so but I have to let you go<br />

Unless you get out and get a job<br />

Whoa, get out and get a job<br />

I'm gonna wait 'til you pass the test<br />

'Cause my daddy knows best<br />

Oh, my daddy knows best now, oh<br />

<br />

He doesn't want me to make, no, no, no, no, no, no<br />

The same mistakes, no, no, no, no<br />

He says, "Romance without finance<br />

Can be a nuisance"<br />

<br />

I need your loving but my daddy told me<br />

Yes, he told me that our love is fine<br />

Whoa, but don't let it mislead you<br />

'Cause daddy also said that love is blind<br />

<br />

While you're in pool rooms<br />

You should be in school rooms<br />

And get out and get a job<br />

Whoa, get out and get a job<br />

I'm gonna wait 'til you pass the test<br />

'Cause my daddy knows best<br />

<br />

Oh, I don't care what you say<br />

We've got to do it his way<br />

Don't say that he's mean<br />

I'll have to tell him everything<br /><br />
