Father in You Mary J. Blige

[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Can I talk to you, baby?

[Verse 1]
When I was a little girl, I didn't have a father
And that's why I'm leanin' on you
When I was a baby, I didn't get a hug from daddy
That's why I need a hug from you
Oh, it's not easy, and I thank you for putting up with me
When you don't have a daddy's love

[Pre-Chorus]
(To say that you), to say that I'm your little girl, yeah
(Are his little girl), oh, why didn't he love me? Yeah
(And give you the love), I need love, yeah, yeah, yeah
(You really deserve), and I believe I deserve it, and that's why, oh

[Chorus]
That's why I need the father in you (Oh, I need the father in you, baby)
That's why I need the father in you (Please don't hurt me, please)
That's why I need the father in you (Oh, that's why, really need you)
That's why I need the father in you (Please be true, mmm, oh)
