My Daddy Knows Best

The Marvelettes The Marvelettes

My daddy told me that boys may say some things that aren't true (things that aren't true)
Yeah, they promise many sweet things that they never intend to do (intend to do)
Whoa, you say your love is strong
And you'll never do me wrong
(Never do me wrong, but let me tell you that)

My daddy told me to open up my eyes and not be blind (not be blind)
Well, cause everytime I look at you, everything you do seems so fine (seems so fine)
Whoa, I love you so
But I'll let you go
Unless you get out and get a job (get out and get a job)
Whoa, get out and get a job (get out and get a job)
I'm gonna wait 'til you pass the test
Cause my daddy knows best (daddy knows best)
Woah, my daddy knows best now (daddy knows best)

Woah, (He doesn't want me to make) no, no, no, no, no, no
(The same mistakes) no, no, no, no
(He says romance without finance) can be a nuisance

(I need your loving but)
(My daddy told me)
Yes, He told me that our love is fine (love is fine)
Whoa, but don't let it mislead you
Cause daddy also said that love is blind (love is blind)

While you're in poolrooms
You should be in school rooms

And get out and get a job (get out and get a job)
Whoa, get out and get a job (get out and get a job)
I'm gonna wait 'til you pass the test
Cause my daddy knows best (daddy knows best)

I don't care what you say (yeah, yeah, yeah daddy knows best)
We've got to do it his way (yeah, yeah, yeah daddy knows best)
Don`t say that he's mean (yeah, yeah, yeah daddy knows best)
I`ll have to tell him everything (yeah, yeah, yeah daddy knows best)
