Elvis Costello
The Only Daddy That’ll Walk The Line
[Verse 1]
Everybody knows you been stepping on my toes
And I'm getting pretty tired of it
Keep stepping out of line and messing with my mind
If you had any sense, you'd quit
[Chorus]
But ever since you were just a little bitty girl
Since I was the only man in this whole world
Now you better do some thinking then you'll find
You got the only daddy that'll walk the line
[Verse 2]
I keep working everyday, all you want to do is play
I'm sick of staying out all night
You've been coming unglued from your funny little moods
So, honey-baby, that ain't right
[Chorus]
Because ever since you were just a little bitty girl
Since I was the only man in this whole world
Now you better do some thinking then you'll find
You got the only daddy that'll walk the line
[Verse 3]
Everybody knows you been stepping on my toes
And still just putting me on
When I start-a-walking, don't I hear you start-a-squawking
Begging me to come back home
[Chorus]
Because ever since you were just a little bitty girl
Since I was the only man in this whole world
Now you better do some thinking then you'll find
You got the only daddy that'll walk the line
