| Oh, mister how’s your daughter?
|
| You really ought to know
|
| For every thing you taught her
|
| Don’t matter when she’s all alone
|
| My crazy friend named Cara
|
| After all of us told her?, No?
|
| S-s-she'd get another spoon ball
|
| Now, she’s going no where slow
|
| Her papa caught her for the first time
|
| And put her out on the street
|
| Cara told me to remind him
|
| That she was only seventeen
|
| Yo, mister how’s your daughter? |
| How’s your girl?
|
| You really ought to know
|
| Every thing you taught her
|
| It don’t matter when she’s all alone
|
| Cara got hooked up with the wrong kids
|
| Then s-s-she started skipping school
|
| Then Cara got high to make disappear
|
| A world full of fools
|
| In her eyes her father was the biggest fool of them all
|
| And she was speeding, that’s what she’d say
|
| Maybe, maybe, maybe she wouldn’t talk so stupid
|
| If she knew how much she needed this fool today
|
| Yo, mister how’s your daughter?
|
| You really ought to know
|
| For every thing you taught her
|
| Don’t matter when she’s all alone
|
| She needs you right now mister
|
| ? |
| Cause she ain’t got long to live
|
| It’s so easy to say?, I love you?
|
| But it’s harder to forgive
|
| Her father cried when I told him that Cara twice got knocked up
|
| He said?, Just like her mama, aha, she shows her body
|
| When she wants to show love, she tried that stuff with me
|
| And I beat her down, there’s no way I could let her stay
|
| Couldn’t let her stick around?
|
| ? |
| Cause I tried so hard to raise her right
|
| He said?, What made her turn out this way?, I don’t know
|
| What made her turn out this way, I don’t know, I don’t know
|
| And I said and I said and I said
|
| Yo, mister how’s your daughter?
|
| You really ought to know, every thing
|
| Every thing you taught her
|
| Don’t matter when she’s all alone
|
| But she needs you right now mister
|
| She ain’t got long to live
|
| It’s easy to say?, I love you?
|
| But it’s harder to forgive
|
| (How's your daughter tonight?)
|
| Yo, mister how’s your daughter?
|
| (How's your daughter tonight?)
|
| Yo, mister how’s your daughter?
|
| (How's your daughter tonight?)
|
| Yo, mister how’s your daughter?
|
| (How's your daughter tonight?)
|
| Yo, mister how’s your daughter?
|
| (How's your daughter tonight?) |
