Eighth grade and crying at the counter
4:00 a.m. and drowning in her work
Three text books spread out around her
One overwhelmed little girl
Her dad walks into the kitchen
So hard to see her so stressed
Still dark but he's there to listen
She's scared of failing her test
He says My little girl, before you worry at all
Have you asked the magic eight ball
And with a shake shake
Of the magic eight
Her stress melts away with a smile on her face
With a lifetime of love
And a small dash of faith
A dad takes care of his girl
A dad takes care of his girl
22 and panicked in her bedroom
20 outfits thrown on the bed
She's wanted this job since she was a kid
And one interview is all that is left
He has such faith in his daughter
He needs her to just believe
And just like any good father
He's got a trick up his sleeve
He said
My little girl, before you worry at all
Have you asked the magic eight ball
An with a shake shake of the magic eight
Her stress melts away with a smile on her face
With a lifetime of love
And a small dash of faith
A dad takes care of his girl
A dad takes care of his girl
Last year I'm sweating in a bench seat
I got a speech well rehearsed
I'm here to ask for his blessing
The father of that brave little nurse
So I start while I still got courage
Your daughter has become my best friend
And though I'm scared, I'm so nervous
I plan to ask for her hand
He looks at me and with no words at all
He pulls out his magic eight bal
And with a shake shake
Of a magic eight
My stress melts away and my fears are replaced
I can't see the words
But he says it looks great
And with a shake shake
Of a magic eight
He says I'm family and this is my place
With a lifetime ahead
And a small dash of faith
I will take care of your girl
I will take care of your girl
