Smilin'

You got me smilin' again
You got me smilin' again
Smilin' again
You got me smilin' again

One night of pleasure, nine months of pain
Three days later and that's when you came
Two arms, two legs, ten fingers, ten toes
Brown eyes like Mom, with your grandmother's nose
Even though you're momma's baby
And daddy's little baby
My love is unconditional to one of us is Swayze
Day or night, roll the light, no matter what you do
Like the Jackson 5 said, "I'll be there for you" 'cause

My life is your life and your life is mine
Through thick and thin, I'm your friend 'til the end of time
I'll make sure you get your props, you can call me pops
And anything you need, I'll pulling out of the stops
Even though we're not together like we used to be
D-A-D-D-Y, you can count on me
'Cause when I'm feelin' down every now and then
I take a look into your eyes and I smile again

You got me smilin' again
You got me smilin' again
Smilin' again
You got me smilin' again

Forget about Batman, Superman and the Power Rangers
'Cause I'ma be your hero if you ever in some danger
This ain't the Huckstables and my name ain't Cliff
No matter how old you get, you could get that - whipped
Daddy, don't take no mess
And I ain't gone settle for nothing less than your very best
When I do what I do 'cause you did what you did
It's 'cause I ain't the kind of father that be raising no dumb a- kids

You gots to be a leader, it's my responsibility to teach ya
Right from wrong and make decisions of your own
I never said that I was perfect, but I know you're worth it so
I'ma do my damnest, to make sure you get some chances
So just listen to your Daddy 'cause he tryin' to tell ya something
And don't let nobody tell ya I don't love ya, 'cause they frontin'
'Cause when I'm feelin' down, every now and then
I take a look into your eyes and I smile again

You got me smilin' again
You got me smilin' again
Smilin' again
You got me smilin' again

You got me smilin'
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
You got me smilin'
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Every day is a struggle, when life is like a puzzle
That we gotta put together, together so and ever
You need a shoulder to cry on and someone you can rely on
Your daddy's home
I'm tryin' to build a foundation on which you could stand
When you's a grown woman, and you's a grown man
I got open ears when the world ain't tryin' to hear
When I can't be there in the flesh, I'm there in the spirit

I'm tryna make an impression on the things that you stand for
The knowledge that I give, you could teach your kids
I know it's hard growing up 'cause I used to be a youngsta
So we gon' work as a team
So the the nigga don't take ya under
People, let me tell ya about my best friends
'Cause I'm down with the children, all the way 'til the end
'Cause when I'm feelin' down, every now and then
I take a look into they eyes and I smile again

You got me smilin' again
You got me smilin' again
Smilin' again
You got me smilin' again

Smilin' again (you got me smilin')
You got me smilin' again
Smilin' again
You got me smilin' again
