Daddy's Good Girl
Monica · New Life [2012]
Sometimes guess won't do it,
Shopping sprees might make me smile for now
But what about later?
And I don't mean to put you through it
I just wanna know I'm cared for
I wanna know you there, boy
And if you love me, tell me that you love me
I need to hear those words, before I go to bed
I make it easy, baby I just want you to need me
I gotta feel your touch, taste your kiss
Hear your voice in my head
And I promise to be good, daddy's good girl
You ain't gonna hear nothing 'bout me
Hanging up late up in these streets
Promise to be good, daddy's good girl
Long as I know you got that love for me
I'ma be G-O-O-D, I'ma be G-O-O-D
And I swear you found the truest
No need to question it, I hold you down
'Cause I've had plenty of takers
And a few times you almost blew it, baby
But you showed me I was cared for
So I'll be here, boy
And if you love me, tell me that you love me
I need to hear those words, before I go to bed
I make it easy, baby I just want you to need me
I gotta feel your touch, taste your kiss
Hear your voice in my head
And I promise to be good, daddy's good girl
You ain't gonna hear nothing 'bout me
Hanging up late up in these streets
Promise to be good, daddy's good girl
Long as I know you got that love for me
I'ma be G-O-O-D
All a good girl needs is loving, G-O-O-D
And I bet you make her smile, baby, always
And she won't leave you for nothing
Nothing in this world could take her love away
And if you love me, tell me that you love me
I wanna hear those words, before I go to bed
I make it easy, baby I just want you to need me
I gotta feel your touch, taste your kiss
Hear your voice in my head
And I promise to be good, daddy's good girl
You ain't gonna hear nothing 'bout me
Hanging up late up in these streets
Promise to be good, daddy's good girl
Long as I know you got that love for me
I'ma be G-O-O-D, I'ma be G-O-O-D
Shopping sprees might make me smile for now
But what about later?
And I don't mean to put you through it
I just wanna know I'm cared for
I wanna know you there, boy
And if you love me, tell me that you love me
I need to hear those words, before I go to bed
I make it easy, baby I just want you to need me
I gotta feel your touch, taste your kiss
Hear your voice in my head
And I promise to be good, daddy's good girl
You ain't gonna hear nothing 'bout me
Hanging up late up in these streets
Promise to be good, daddy's good girl
Long as I know you got that love for me
I'ma be G-O-O-D, I'ma be G-O-O-D
And I swear you found the truest
