Little Girl Lyrics - Bluestime - J. Geils

He drops his suitcase by the door 

She knows her daddy won't be back anymore 

She drags her feet across the floor 

Trying to hold back time, to keep him holding on 

And she says... 

Daddy, daddy, don't leave 

I'll do anything to keep you right here with me 

Can't you see how much I need you? 

Daddy, daddy, don't leave 

Mommy is saying things she don't mean 

She don't know what she's talking about, somebody hear me out 

Father, listen, tell him that he's got a home and he don't have to go 

Father, save him, I would do anything in return 

I'll clean my room, try hard in school 

I'll be good, I promise you 

Father, Father, I pray to you 

Now she hasn't slept in weeks 

She don't want to close her eyes 'cause she's scared that he'll leave 

They've tried just about everything 

But it's getting harder now for him to breathe 

And she says 

Daddy, daddy, don't leave 

I'll do anything to keep you right here with me 

Can't you see how much I need you? 

Daddy, daddy, don't leave 

The doctors are saying things they don't mean 

They don't know what they're talking about, somebody hear me out 

Father, listen, tell him that he's got a home and he don't have to go 

Father, save him, I would do anything in return 

I'll clean my room, try hard in school 

I'll be good, I promise you 

Father, Father, I pray to you 

Please don't let him go 

I'm begging you so 

Let him open his eyes, need a lil' more time 

To tell him that I love him more than anything in the world 

It's daddy's lil' girl 

Father, listen, tell him that he's got a home and he don't have to go 

Father, save him, I would do anything in return 

I'll clean my room, try hard in school 

I'll be good, I promise you 

Father, Father, I pray to you 

She was daddy's lil' girl
