Daddy Told Me So Songtext
von Aloe Blacc

He said, son, don′t you grow up too fast
Make those days your living last
'Cause one day they′ll be gone and past
You wish 'em back again

You only get to have this one
Life is precious and when it's done
It′s measured up in love and fun
So enjoy it while you can

And oh, I′ve seen it all
And I'll be here to catch you before you fall
And oh I′ve done it all before
You'll get your chance the same you can be sure
Ask me how I know, ′cause my daddy told me so
Mhmm

He said money doesn't make the man
Really only hard work can
Build something with your own hands
And see how good it feels


Don′t be afraid to make mistakes
But learn from every one you make
And take advice for goodness sake
Don't reinvent the wheel

And oh, I've seen it all
And I′ll be here to catch you before you fall
And oh I′ve done it all before
You'll get your chance the same you can be sure
Ask me how I know, ′cause my daddy told me

Women come and women go
Don't rush to marry, take it slow
Just let the love between you grow
She′ll be your best friend

Find out what your passion is
And follow it long as you live
And teach it to your little kids
And start a family trend

Everything you ever do
Don't leave half done, just see it through
′Cause sometimes people measure you
By the promises you keep


Give everyone an equal chance
We come from different circumstance
And always try to lend a hand
When you can help the weak

And oh, I've seen it all
And I'll be here to catch you before you fall
And oh I′ve done it all before
You′ll get your chance the same you can be sure

And oh, I've seen it all
And I′ll be here to catch you before you fall
And oh I've done it all before
You′ll get your chance the same you can be sure

Ask me how I know
'Cause my daddy told me so
Mhmm
′Cause my daddy told me so
Mhmm
