Who did the daddy thing? When her father wasn't there Who did the daddy thing? Now usually, it was a car seat up in the back seat A tiny shoe swingin' from the rear view A ring on her hand I could never be her man But we got so close Blew all my dough on the Baby Gap school clothes Pretty little angel in barrettes and bows And a button nose After a while started calling me daddy I should have known that it couldn't last Should have known that you'd take him right back I should have took off running when I first saw her comin' Would have never gotten so attached When her father wasn't there to participate He got hit wit a bit upstate When she needed diapers, wipes food and baby food 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 to form all my folks How I got caught up playing stepdaddy I got my income tax n said fuck it And traded in your bucket 'Cause that coop wasn't big enough I wasn't trying to replace him Now that he's back around Guess that you don't need me now You don't need me anymore I should have known that it couldn't last Should have known that you'd take him right back I should have took off runnin' when I first saw her comin' Would have never gotten so attached When her father wasn't there to participate He got hit wit a bit upstate When she needed diapers wipes food and baby shoes Won't you tell me who (Who did it) Who did the daddy thing? (I did) I gave her everything Who did the daddy thing? Nobody but me On the first day of school, holidays From the very first step 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 Long walks with piggybacks and baby cribs and light blue Timbs I gave it all out of love All in the name of love Every Christmas, X-Boxes, little dresses, tennis placements I did it all, all just because When there was no one, no one When nobody else was there When her father wasn't there to participate He got his wit a bit 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 the first day of school holidays from the very first step she made When she needed love trust patience and truth I want you to tell me who (Nobody) Who did the daddy thing? When her father wasn't there Who did the daddy thing?
