Father In You Lyrics - The Breakthrough - Mary J Blige

Can I talk to you, baby 

When I was a little girl 

I didn't have a father 

And that's why I'm leaning on you. 

When I was a baby 

I didn't get a hug from daddy 

That's why I need a hug from you. 

Ohh, It's not easy and 

I thank you for putting up with me 

When you don't have a daddy's love 

To say that you... 

To say that I'm your little girl 

(Are his little girl, Oh why didn't you love me) 

And give you the love.(I need love yeah yeah yeah) 

you really deserve (And i believe I deserve it And that's why

[chorus] 

That's why I need, The father in you 

(I need the father in you, baby) 

That's why I need, (Please don't hurt me please) 

The father in you 

That's why I need (Oh that's why) 

The father in you (Really need you) 

That's why I need (Please be true) 

The father in you 

Oh, things got bad, to the point 

Where mommy couldn't hold us down 

And that's when it hurt me so much 

To see her, To see her cry 

(Oh don't cry, momma don't cry momma) 

Each and every night 

(We're gonna be alright that's what I used to say) 

I said that some day 

That I would try to take his place 

But it was too hard; 

It was so hard trying to be a man and a woman 

And that's why I need the father in you

[chorus] 

That's why I need, (oh I needed) 

The father in you, (I put my trust on you) 

That's why I need, (Please don't let me domn) 

The father in you. 

That's why I need, 

The father in you (I need the father in you) 

That's why I need (Hold my hand) 

The father in you 

[Breakdown] 

Because we never had one at home 

(No No No) As a little girl... 

So I understand, why daddy couldn't be there 

Cause it's so obvious nobody taught him, how to be father to me 

Oh and I'm not sayin this 

to reminisce on the past 

I'm just saying this to make you understand, That I needed a father 

And this is my problem 

This is why I couldn't keep no one 

This is why I couldn't stay alone 

I was so scared alone 

Every woman needs a man 

And I don't think she understands 

That she really needs a father 

The father in you, my brother 

She really needed the father 

The father in you. 

When your wife is speaking fellas 

Pay attention, Yeah, don't ignore her 

No, no, no I really need the father in you.
