[Verse 1]
I remember when you used to take me on a bike ride
Every day on the bayou
(You remember that? You remember that?
We were inseparable, inseparable)
And I remember when you could do no wrong
You'd come home from work
And I jumped in your arms when I saw you
I was so happy to see you
(I was so excited, so happy to see you, so happy to see you)

[Pre-Chorus]
Because you loved me, I overcome, yeah
And I'm so proud of what you've become, yeah
You've given me such security
No matter what mistakes I make, you're there for me
You cure my disappointments and you heal my pain
You understood my fears and you protected me
I treasure every irreplaceable memory and that's why

[Chorus]
I want my unborn son to be like my daddy
I want my husband to be like my daddy
There is no one else like my daddy
And I thank you (Thank you) for lovin' me
[Post-Chorus]
Da-da-da-da, daddy, daddy
Da-da-da-da, daddy, daddy (Me, lovin' me)
Da-da-da-da, daddy, daddy (Lovin' me)
Da-da-da-da, daddy, daddy

[Verse 2]
I still remember the expression on your face
When you found out I'd been on a date and had a boyfriend, oh
(My first boyfriend, you should've seen your face)
I still remember I caught you cryin' 'cause of my tattoo
Could have said "Beyoncé, I told you so"
Instead you said you'd get one too
(Even my mama said y'all get one just like mine) Yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Words can't express my boundless gratitude for you
I appreciate what you do, woah
You've given me such security
No matter what mistakes, I know you're there for me
You cure my disappointments and you heal my pain
You understand my fears and you protected me
Treasure every extraordinary memory and that's why

[Chorus]
My unborn son to be like my daddy
I want my husband to be like my daddy
There is no one else like my daddy
And I thank you (Thank you) for lovin' me
[Bridge]
Even if my man broke my heart today
No matter how much pain I'm in, I will be okay (Oh)
'Cause I got a man in my life that can't be replaced
For this love is unconditional, it won't go away
I know I'm lucky (Lucky), know it ain't easy (It ain't easy)
For men who take care of their responsibilities (Ayy)
Love is overwhelming, Lord, why did you pick me? (Oh)
Can't stop my tears from fallin' (Oh)
I love you so much, daddy

[Outro]
(I want my unborn son to be like my daddy)
Thank you, you've done so much for me
(Want my husband to be like my daddy)
I love you, daddy
I get so emotional, daddy, every time I think of you
(There is no one else like my daddy)
I get so emotional, daddy, every time I think of you
(And I thank you for lovin' me)
There is no one else like my daddy
(There is no one else like my daddy)
No one else will replace my daddy
Da-ra-da-ra-da-ra
