[Verse 1]

I remember when you used to take me on a bike ride

Every day on the bayou

(You remember that? You remember that?

We were inseparable, inseparable)

And I remember when you could do no wrong

You'd come home from work

And I jumped in your arms when I saw you

I was so happy to see you

(I was so excited, so happy to see you, so happy to see you)

[Pre-Chorus]

Because you loved me, I overcome, yeah

And I'm so proud of what you've become, yeah

You've given me such security

No matter what mistakes I make, you're there for me

You cure my disappointments and you heal my pain

You understood my fears and you protected me

I treasure every irreplaceable memory and that's why

[Chorus]

I want my unborn son to be like my daddy

I want my husband to be like my daddy

There is no one else like my daddy

And I thank you (Thank you) for lovin' me

[Post-Chorus]

Da-da-da-da, daddy, daddy

Da-da-da-da, daddy, daddy (Me, lovin' me)

Da-da-da-da, daddy, daddy (Lovin' me)

Da-da-da-da, daddy, daddy

[Verse 2]

I still remember the expression on your face

When you found out I'd been on a date and had a boyfriend, oh

(My first boyfriend, you should've seen your face)

I still remember I caught you cryin' 'cause of my tattoo

Could have said "Beyoncé, I told you so"

Instead you said you'd get one too

(Even my mama said y'all get one just like mine) Yeah

[Pre-Chorus]

Words can't express my boundless gratitude for you

I appreciate what you do, woah

You've given me such security

No matter what mistakes, I know you're there for me

You cure my disappointments and you heal my pain

You understand my fears and you protected me

Treasure every extraordinary memory and that's why

[Chorus]

My unborn son to be like my daddy

I want my husband to be like my daddy

There is no one else like my daddy

And I thank you (Thank you) for lovin' me

[Bridge]

Even if my man broke my heart today

No matter how much pain I'm in, I will be okay (Oh)

'Cause I got a man in my life that can't be replaced

For this love is unconditional, it won't go away

I know I'm lucky (Lucky), know it ain't easy (It ain't easy)

For men who take care of their responsibilities (Ayy)

Love is overwhelming, Lord, why did you pick me? (Oh)

Can't stop my tears from fallin' (Oh)

I love you so much, daddy

[Outro]

(I want my unborn son to be like my daddy)

Thank you, you've done so much for me

(Want my husband to be like my daddy)

I love you, daddy

I get so emotional, daddy, every time I think of you

(There is no one else like my daddy)

I get so emotional, daddy, every time I think of you

(And I thank you for lovin' me)

There is no one else like my daddy

(There is no one else like my daddy)

No one else will replace my daddy

Da-ra-da-ra-da-ra
