My daddy told me   That boys may say some things that aren't true   Yeah, they promise many sweet things   That they never intend to do      Whoa, you say your love is strong   And you'd never do me wrong   But let me tell you that      My daddy told me   To open up my eyes and not be blind   Well, 'cause every time I look at you   Everything you do seems so fine      Whoa, I love you so but I have to let you go   Unless you get out and get a job   Whoa, get out and get a job   I'm gonna wait 'til you pass the test   'Cause my daddy knows best   Oh, my daddy knows best now, oh      He doesn't want me to make, no, no, no, no, no, no   The same mistakes, no, no, no, no   He says, "Romance without finance   Can be a nuisance"      I need your loving but my daddy told me   Yes, he told me that our love is fine   Whoa, but don't let it mislead you   'Cause daddy also said that love is blind      While you're in pool rooms   You should be in school rooms   And get out and get a job   Whoa, get out and get a job   I'm gonna wait 'til you pass the test   'Cause my daddy knows best      Oh, I don't care what you say   We've got to do it his way   Don't say that he's mean   I'll have to tell him everything
