Mmm...mmm...mmm...   Yeah, yeah   Woo...woo...woo..      He’s worth more than every star in the sky   With that look of forgiveness it’s always in his eyes   He works so hard, but gentle as a lamb   He gave up so much to make me just what I am and, oh      Oh, let me be the man my daddy way   Oh, let me be the man my daddy way      When I was young, sometimes foolishly I played   But he reached and, oh, showed me the way   Now he’s only human, and ‘bout to make mistakes   But it was alright by the moment I would awake, and oh      Oh, let me be the man my daddy way   Oh, let me be the man my daddy way      Sometimes I hope I don’t live to see the day   When He reaches down and take them both away   Look at my children, sometimes foolishly they play   Let me live long enough, let me show them the way      My clothes were sometimes untidy   And that bed was never made   But mom and dad would scold me good   Never doubted I’ve made the grade      But now that I’m a man   I ask the Lord up above   Please let me raise my children right   And be the man my daddy was, and oh      Oh, let me be the man my daddy way   Oh, let me be the man my daddy way      He was a good man   He was a poor man   Yeah, yeah   Mmm, hmm      Oh, let me be the man my daddy way
