Who, who did the daddy thing?   (When a father wasn't there?)   Who did the daddy thing?      Now usually   If there's a car seat   Up in the back seat   Or a tiny shoe swinging   From the rear view mirror      A ring on her hand   I could never be her man   But we got so close   Blew all my dough   In the Baby Gap school clothes      Pretty little angel in berets and bows   And a button nose   After a while   Started calling me daddy      I should've known that it couldn't last   Should've known that you'd take him right back   I should've took off running   When I first saw her coming   Would have never gotten so attached      When her father wasn't there to participate   He got hit with a bid upstate   When she needed diapers, wipes   Food and baby shoes   Won't you tell me who?      Who did the daddy thing?   (I gave her everything)   Who did the daddy thing?   (Nobody, nobody but me)      Now normally   I would just hit and run   But can't you see   I'm about you and your little one?      I took the jokes from all of my folks   How I got caught up playing step daddy   I got my income tax and said fuck it   And traded in your bucket      'Cause that Coupe wasn't big enough   I wasn't trying to replace him   Now that he's back around   Guess you don't need me now   You don't need me anymore      I should've known that it couldn't last   Should've known that you'd take him right back   I should've took off running   When I first saw her coming   Would have never gotten so attached      When her father wasn't there to participate   He got hit with a bid upstate   When she needed diapers, wipes   Food and baby shoes   Won't you tell me who?      Who did the daddy thing?   (I gave her everything)   Who did the daddy thing?   (Nobody but me)      On her first day of school holidays   From the very first steps she made   When she needed love, trust, patience and truth   I want you to tell me who      Who did the daddy thing?   (I gave her everything)   Who did the daddy thing?   (Nobody but me)      Longs walks with   Piggy backs and   Baby cribs and light blue Timbs   I did it all out of love   (All in the name of love)      Every Christmas   X-Box's, little dresses   Tennis bracelets   I did all, all just because   When there was no one, no one   When nobody else was there for her      When her father wasn't there to participate   He got hit with a bid upstate   When she needed diapers, wipes   Food and baby shoes   Won't you tell me who?      Who did the daddy thing?   (And you know I was the man)   Who did the daddy thing?   (A shoulder to cry on)   Someone to talk to      On her first day of school holidays   From the very first steps she made   When she needed love, trust   Patience, and truth   I won't you to tell me who      Who did the daddy thing?   (When her father wasn't there)   Who did the daddy thing?
