My Daddy

I’m no little girl 
I’m growing up so fast
See how big I’ve gotten
Since you seen me last.

One day I’ll be a woman
Not daddy's little girl
I’ll be old and married
I’ll have my own baby girl.

When I get older I’ll understand you
Because I’ll go through the same things too
Then I’ll understand all
Those rough times we have been through.

The screaming and yelling
Followed by the arguing and fighting
That’s why I spent so 
Much of my time writing.

So you understand
The things I’ve been through
So we can communicate and 
Talk to like we're supposed too.

Just like father
And daughter are meant to be
Because you can't deny 
You don't love me.

I won't deny it 'cause 
I love you too
Just like a 
Daughter loves her father too.
