DADDY SAYS LYRICS

Intro Chorus
Mind yourself and mind your business
Forgive those who wrong against us
Work for what you want in this life
Keep your head up through the strife yeah
‘Cause Daddy Says
‘Cause Daddy Says
‘Cause Daddy Says

Verse 1
Setting an example of what it means to be
Forgiving every time ‘cause we’re family
And we need to stay we.
Working all the hours
Breaking back so we can break bread
From your living.
Don’t think that
We’re not grateful for all
These opportunities you
Have opened up for us, opened up for me, opened up for love.
You sacrificed you
You always came through
To make we succeed.

Chorus
Mind yourself and mind your business
Forgive those who wrong against us
Work for what you want in this life
Keep your head up through the strife.
Daddy Says, because Daddy Says, (Daddy Says)
Daddy Says, because Daddy Says, (Daddy Says)
Daddy Says.

Verse 2
Do you remember when you had told me: “Loubna dyelli” (tr. my Loubna)
Don’t you worry there is nothing you can do now
Allah will take care of
All of this so perfectly
So dry those tears now.
Your strength of faith inspires me
Even if I don’t always agree
‘Cause you said a prayer for we, said a prayer for me, said a prayer for love.
You dedicated you
Even with what you’ve been through
To the one who’s unseen.

Chorus
Mind yourself and mind your business
Forgive those who wrong against us
Work for what you want in this life
Keep your head up through the strife.
Daddy Says, because Daddy Says (Daddy Says)
Daddy Says, because Daddy Says (Daddy Says)
Daddy Says.

Middle Section
How can I repay you
For what you’ve done for us?
I don’t think there’s any way.
So all I can do is live
The best way I know how.
Daddy you taught me about patience.
You told me know him well before you marry.
And that what I feel at the beginning isn’t necessarily love.
That that feeling doesn’t guarantee happiness.
You told me that real love comes from surviving the ups and the downs.
Daddy you were right.

You taught me about faith.
Do you remember when I was little
And you were trying to get me to ride my bike without the supports?
You would hold on to the back of the bike
And I would tell you: “do not let go!”
Remember when you let go without telling me?
I was riding along on two wheels all by myself.
It wasn’t until I turned around and saw you weren’t there
That I actually fell over.

And so what I want to say is this
Daddy how I love and respect you.
You guided me to be the best that I can be.
And there’s no
Greater gift you could have offered me.

Outro
And then he wished me, then he wished me, then he wished me all the best.
And then he wished me, then he wished me, then he wished me all the best.
And then he wished me, then he wished me, then he wished me all the best.
All the best
