Lyrics
My baby girl
You changed my world
When you came into my life
'Cause daddy was a mess
Had a hole in his chest
Girl you gave me life
Me and your mama didn't work out
Too busy listenin' to folks at the church house
If I could go back in time
I'd use my own mind
And I wouldn't be so hurt now
'Cause I like pickin' you up, takin' you to practice
Watchin' you do your thing in gymnastics
Or ridin' round with the music blastin'
Having a ball singin' and laughin'
But I hate takin' you home, wavin' goodbye
Can't tuck you in bed or kiss you goodnight
It's like takin' a dagger right through my heart
I don't like that part
I don't like that part
Wasn't that long
But mama moved on
And you're a big sister now
I don't like it one bit
But I gotta accept
There's another man in your house
And this life of an entertainer keeps me goin'
On the road doin' shows while you keep on growin'
I heard you call him daddy one time
And I damn near lost my mind
'Cause I like pickin' you up, takin' you to practice
Watchin' you do your thing in gymnastics
Or ridin' round with the music blastin'
Having a ball singin' and laughin'
But I hate takin' you home, wavin' goodbye
Can't tuck you in bed or kiss you goodnight
It's like takin' a dagger right through my heart
I don't like that part
I don't like that part
If I could turn back the hands of time
I'd gladly press rewind
I'd give your mom that ring I bought
I wouldn't hesitate this time
I hate that things have to be this way
I'm not with you every day
But now I gotta live with this choice I made
So every night my heart aches
'Cause I like pickin' you up, takin' you to practice
Watchin' you do your thing in gymnastics
Or ridin' round with the music blastin'
Having a ball singin' and laughin'
But I hate takin' you home, wavin' goodbye
Can't tuck you in bed or kiss you goodnight
It's like takin' a dagger right through my heart
I don't like that part
When I can't tuck you in at night baby
When I can't see the sunrise with you baby
I don't like that part
I wanna fight the monster under your bed
I wanna be the one
I don't like that part
Fellas if you hear me, hear me sing it
Fathers if you hear me, hear me sing it
I don't like that part
I don't like that part
