Chorus: 
You got me smilin' 
again you 
got me smilin again 
smilin' 
again you 
got me smilin'  again 
Rhyme 1: 
One night of pleasure nine months of pain 
three days later and that's when you came 
two arms two legs ten fingers ten toes 
brown eyes like mom  with your grandmothers nose 
even though you're momma's baby 
and Daddy's Little Baby 
my love is unconditional to one of us is swayze 
day or night  roll the light 
no matter what you do, 
like the Jackson 5 said I'll be there for you coz 
my life is your life and your life is mine 
to thinkin'en I'm your friend 'til the end of time 
I'll make sure you get your props 
you can call me pops 
and anything you need I'll pull it out of the stops 
even though we're not together like we used to be 
D A D D Y, you can count on me 
coz when I'm feelin' down every now and then 
I take a look into your eyes and then smile again 
Chorus 
Rhyme 2: 
Forget about Batman, Superman and the Power Rangers 
coz I'ma be your hero if you ever in some danger 
this ain't the hustarone and my name ain't Cliff 
no matter how old you get you could get that ass whipped 
daddy don't take no mess 
and I ain't gone settle for nothing less than your very best 
when I do what I do coz you did what you did 
It's coz I ain't the kind of father that be raising no dum-ass kids 
You gosta be a leader, it's my responsiblity to teach ya 
right from wrong, and make decisions of your own 
I never said that I was perfect 
but I know that you're worth it so 
I'ma do my damnest to make sure you get some chances 
so just listen to your daddy coz he tryin to tell ya something 
and don't let nobody tell ya I don't love ya coz they frontin' 
coz when I'm feelin' down every now and then 
I take a look into your eyes and then smile again 
Chorus 
Rhyme 3: 
Every day is a struggle when life is like a puzzle 
that we gotta put together 
together so and ever 
you need a shoulder to cry on and someone you can rely on 
your daddy's home 
I'm tryin'a build a foundation on which you could stand 
when you's a grown woman and you's a grown man 
I got open ears when the world ain't tryin' hear 
when I can't be there in the flesh I be there in the spir-it 
I'm tryina make an impression on the things that you care for 
the knowledge that I give, you could teach your kids 
I know it's hard growing up coz I used to be a youngsta 
so we don't work as a team, saw the liquor take us under 
people let me tell ya about my best friends 
coz I'm down with the children all the way 'til the end 
coz when I'm feelin' down every now and then 
I take a look into their eyes and then smile again
