[Verse 1]
Listen, daddy mine, what do you want of me?
I've been just as good as can be
Now the love I had for you has turned to hate
You don't appreciate, so daddy, there's the gate
You can't do what my last man did
Dog me around, treat me like a kid

[Verse 2]
I'm wise to what you'd like to do
So from now on, let me miss you
I weep and pine all the time
While you show off with friends of mine
My last man tried to drag me down
But he was one good man to have around

[Verse 3]
When the clock on the wall strikes half past three
I want every little thing you took from me
'Cause you can't do what my last man did
You can't do what my last man did
Dog me 'round, treat me like a kid

[Verse 4]
I see now you must be told
For I can't stand a man that's cold
Who can't love sufficiently
And make me forget about my used-to-be
Now he could love like a lover should
When he would, he was good, yes he could
[Verse 5]
You've lost your nest, go east or west
But just go, I mean go
'Cause the last cruel papa, he blacked my eye
But the next man that does it, he's doomed to die
'Cause you can't do what my last man did
