Buy Me a Daddy

(Carmol Taylor)



I buy toys for my little girl

Almost every day

To try and keep her happy

Since her daddy went away.



But today she looked so lonely

As she climbed upon my knees

And in her sweet tiny voice

She said this to me.



Mommy I love you

And all of my toys

But I want a daddy

Like the other girls and boys.



Then she gave me her pennies

Her nickels and dimes

And the next thing she told me

Broke this heart of mine.



Buy me a daddy

He don't have to be new

Just as long as he loves me

Any daddy will do.



And we'll make him promise

Daddy won't go away

Please buy me a daddy

Let's go get one today.



Buy me a daddy

Let's go get one today...
