[Verse 1]
How come you do me, do me like you do-do-do?
How come you do me, do me like you do-do-do?
When you know, sweet daddy, I don't want nobody else but you

[Verse 2]
Why do you dog me when you know the friend you have in me?
Why do you dog me when you know the friend you have in me?
I've been a mother, sister, brother, so what more can a poor gal be?

[Verse 3]
I did for you when I needed shoes on my feet
I did for you when I needed shoes on my feet
I went hungry, sweet papa, just to let you eat

[Verse 4]
Do Lord, do Lord, make my daddy care for me
Do Lord, do Lord, make my daddy care for me
'Cause I'm a do-right gal that needs someone to pity me

[Verse 5]
The more I do for you, the less you'll appreciate
The more I do for you, the less you'll appreciate
You'd better learn to love me, daddy, before it is too late
