[100:00:04]When I was a baby
[100:00:05]I didn't get a hug from daddy
[100:00:06]That's why I need a hug from you..
[100:00:07]Ohh, It's not easy and
[100:00:08]I thank you for putting up with me
[100:00:09]When you don't have a daddy's love
[100:00:010]To say that you...

[100:00:27]To see her, To see her cry
[100:00:28]（Oh don't cry, momma don't cry momma）
[100:00:29]Each and every night
[100:00:30]（We're gonna be alright that's what I used to say）
[100:00:31]I said that some day
[100:00:32]That I would try to take his place
[100:00:33]But it was too hard;
[100:00:34]It was so hard trying to be a man and a woman
[100:00:35]And that's why I need the father in you
[100:00:36][chorus]

[100:00:45][Breakdown]
[100:00:46]Because we never had one at home
[100:00:47]（No No No） As a little girl...
[100:00:48]So I understand, why daddy couldn't be there
[100:00:49]Cause it's so obvious nobody taught him, how to be father to me
[100:00:50]Oh and I'm not sayin this
[100:00:51]to reminisce on the past
[100:00:52]I'm just saying this to make you understand, That I needed a father
[100:00:53]And this is my problem
[100:00:54]This is why I couldn't keep no one
[100:00:55]This is why I couldn't stay alone
[100:00:56]I was so scared alone
[100:00:57]Every woman needs a man
[100:00:58]And I don't think she understands
[100:00:59]That she really needs a father
[100:01:00]The father in you, my brother
[100:01:01]She really needed the father
[100:01:02]The father in you.
