But You Love Me Daddy

Jim Reeves · The Very Best of Jim Reeves, Vol. 2 [BMG Import] [1998]

Your five year old face

Is a dirty disgrace

But you love me, daddy.



You scatter your toys

And you make to much noise

But you love me, daddy.



You know little lad

You can be pretty bad

But you love me, daddy.



You wake me at dawn

When I want to sleep on

But you love me, daddy.



Now you eat the cookies

When I tell you, no

But you love me, daddy

'Cause you tell me so.



Your so hard to scold

'Cause your my five year old

Because you love me, daddy.



--- Instrumental ---



When I dress you up

You go play with the pup

But you love me, daddy.



When I use the phone

You won't leave me alone

But you love me, daddy.



You make sister wail

Pulling her pony tail

But you love me, daddy.



You scratch up the floor

And you write on the door

But you love me, daddy.



you ask foolish question

Now, you know that true

But you love me, daddy

Now you know that you do.



Your so hard to scold

'Cause you're my five year old

Because you love me, daddy...
