Daddy Told Me

Daddy told me, "Watch who you spend time with Guys with killer style Got the car, the bling, and all the wardrobe And wrapped it with a killer smile They make time for only things that serve them Which may or may not be you And then they'll take your heart and tear it apart Leave you on the road for dead Gettin' up inside your head Unless you wake up, wake up, and get on home" Daddy told me, "Watch out for the playboys Ones who can't get enough They surround themselves with all the females Promising all kinds of stuff Girls will come and go just like the seasons You wonder how long you've got And then they'll take your heart and tear it apart Leave you on the road for dead Gettin' up inside your head Unless you wake up, wake up, and get on home" Love won't guarantee forever But just make sure that's what you've got It takes two to stay together Or you'll be feelin' lonely 'cause he's not what you thought So, here it is-the moral of my story The one that I have been told To find a gem, it takes a good inspection If you want the real gold Don't be fooled by glitter and some cheap talk You're worth more than that, So they won't take your heart and tear it apart Leave you on the road for dead Gettin' up inside your head Because you woke up, woke up, and got on home
