Let Me Be The Man My Daddy Was

The Chi-Lites

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
