Growing up there wasn't much my daddy couldn't fix,
If it wouldn't work he'd make the old look new again,
The house, the fence, the bike, the car,
The little girl tears from a broken heart,
Faddy set the bar real high,
F/Bm
Showed me what a real man looks like,
It's gonna take one to fill those shoes,
In his eyes nothing less will do,
He's gotta be a man of god,
F/Bm
Keep it tight when he ties that knot,
Lucky as a girls ever gonna get,
F/Gm
To love the man that's half the man my daddy is.
It's never gonna fly if he's the kinda guy that doesn't fish,
He better keep his word, ain't afraid to work, and knows who he is,
Strong with his hands gentle with his touch,
And no such thing as lovin' me too much,
Faddy set the bar real high,
F/Bm
Showed me what a real man looks like,
It's gonna take one to fill those shoes,
In his eyes nothing less will do,
He's gotta be a man of god,
F/Bm
Keep it tight when he ties that knot,
Lucky as a girls ever gonna get,
F/Gm
To love the man that's half the man my daddy is.
Man of few words, A man who leads,
The man he is, is who he wants for me.
Faddy set the bar real high,
F/Bm
Showed me what a real man looks like,
It's gonna take one to fill those shoes,
In his eyes nothing less will do,
He's gotta be a man of god,
F/Bm
Keep it tight when he ties that knot,
Lucky as a girls ever gonna get,
F/Gm
To love the man that's half the man my daddy is.
