A Daughter Needs Her Daddy

A girl needs her daddy,

to adore her, and to show her how to be cherished.

A little girl needs her daddy, to be there,

to get her when she staggers.

A little girl needs her daddy,

to instruct her that young ladies should be regarded.

A girl needs her daddy,

to remain alongside her, solid and quiet, over the course of life's battles.

A little girl needs her daddy,

to be there at her wedding.

A little girl needs her daddy,

to be there at the introduction of her kids.

A little girl needs her daddy,

Not when it's advantageous for him.

Not when it will look great to everyone around him.

Not when she plays by his principles.

Not when he's exhausted.

Not when he endorses.

A little girl needs her daddy without conditions.
