Lyrics Oh Daddy - Ethel Waters

Oh Daddy

Just like a flower, I am fading away
The doctor calls to see me most every day
But he don’t do me no good
Why? Because I’m longing for you
And if you care for me
You will listen to my plea
Oh daddy
Look what you’re doing! Look what you’re doing!
Oh daddy
You with your fooling, think what you’re losing
All the little loving that I gave to you
Is going to make you feel awfully blue
When you miss me and long to kiss me
You’ll regret the day that you ever quit me
Oh daddy
Think when you’re all alone
Why, you’ll want me, just wait and see
Then there’ll be someone else making love to me
Then daddy, daddy, you won’t have no mama at all
Oh daddy
Look what you’re doing! Look what you’re doing!
Oh daddy
You with your fooling, think what you’re losing
All the little loving that I gave to you
Is going to make you feel awfully blue
When you miss me and long to kiss me
You’ll regret the day that you ever quit me
Oh daddy
Think when you’re all alone
Why, you’ll want me, just wait and see
Then there’ll be someone else making love to me
Then daddy, daddy, you won’t have no mama at all
