| Just like a flower, I am fading away |
| The doctor calls to see me most every day |
| But he don’t do me no good |
| Why? Because I’m longing for you |
| And if you care for me |
| You will listen to my plea |
| Oh daddy |
| Look what you’re doing! Look what you’re doing! |
| Oh daddy |
| You with your fooling, think what you’re losing |
| All the little loving that I gave to you |
| Is going to make you feel awfully blue |
| When you miss me and long to kiss me |
| You’ll regret the day that you ever quit me |
| Oh daddy |
| Think when you’re all alone |
| Why, you’ll want me, just wait and see |
| Then there’ll be someone else making love to me |
| Then daddy, daddy, you won’t have no mama at all |
| Oh daddy |
| Look what you’re doing! Look what you’re doing! |
| Oh daddy |
| You with your fooling, think what you’re losing |
| All the little loving that I gave to you |
| Is going to make you feel awfully blue |
| When you miss me and long to kiss me |
| You’ll regret the day that you ever quit me |
| Oh daddy |
| Think when you’re all alone |
| Why, you’ll want me, just wait and see |
| Then there’ll be someone else making love to me |
| Then daddy, daddy, you won’t have no mama at all |
