Daddy - Beyoncé

I remember when you use to take me on a

Bike ride everyday on the Bayou

(You remember that, we were 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)

Because you loved me, I overcome

And I’m so proud of what you’ve become

You’ve given me such security

No matter what mistakes I make, you’re there for me

You kill my disappointments and you heal my pain

You understood my fears and you protected me

Treasure every irreplaceable memory and that’s why

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 for loving me

I still remember the expression on your face

When you found out I’d been on a date and had a boyfriend

My first boyfriend, you should have seen your face

I still remember I came to you crying cause of my tattoo

Could have said, «Beyonce, I told you so»

Instead you said, you’d get one too

(Even my Mama said, «Y'all, get one just like mine»)

Words can’t express my boundless gratitude for you

I appreciate what you do

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 understand my fears and you protected me

Treasure every extraordinary memory and that’s why

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 for loving me

Even if my man broke my heart today

No matter how much pain I’m in, I will be okay

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 know it ain’t easy

For men who take care of their responsibilities

Love is overwhelming Lord, why did you pick me?

Can’t help my tears from falling I love you so much, Daddy

(Thank you, you’ve done so much for me, I love you Daddy)

I get so emotional Daddy, every time I think of you

I get so emotional Daddy, every time I think of you

There is no one else like my Daddy

No one else replace my Daddy
