Daddy Lessons lyrics

[Intro]

Yee-haw

Ooh

Texas, Texas (Ooh) Texas

[Verse 1]

Came into this world, daddy's little girl

And Daddy made a soldier out of me (Ooh)

Daddy made me dance and Daddy held my hand (Ooh)

And Daddy liked his whiskey with his tea

[Pre-Chorus 1]

And we rode motorcycles

Blackjack, classic vinyl

Tough girl is what I had to be

He said, "Take care of your mother

Watch out for your sister"

And oh, that's when he gave to me

[Chorus]

With his gun and his head held high, he told me not to cry

Oh, my daddy said shoot

Oh, my daddy said shoot

With his right hand on his rifle, he swore it on the bible

My daddy said shoot

Oh, my daddy said shoot

He held me in his arms and he taught me to be strong

He told me when he's gone, "Here's what you do

When trouble comes in town and men like me come around"

Oh, my daddy said shoot

Oh, my daddy said shoot

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh

Yee, woo

Ooh

Yee-haw (Woo)

[Verse 2]

Daddy made me fight, it wasn't always right

But he said, "Girl, it's your second amendment" (Ooh)

He always played it cool, but Daddy was no fool

And right before he died, he said, "Remember..."

[Pre-Chorus 2]

He said, "Take care of your mother

Watch out for your sister"

That's when Daddy looked at me

[Chorus]

With his gun, with his head held high, he told me not to cry

Oh, my daddy said shoot

Oh, my daddy said shoot

With his right hand on his rifle, he swore it on the bible

My daddy said shoot (Yee)

Oh, my daddy said shoot (Yee-haw)

'Cause he held me in his arms and he taught me to be strong

And he told me when he's gone, "Here's what you do

When trouble comes in town and men like me come around"

Oh, my daddy said shoot

Oh, my daddy said shoot (Woo)

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh (Woo)

Ooh (Woo)

Ooh (Yee)

Ooh (Yee-haw)

[Outro: Beyoncé & Blue Ivy Carter]

My daddy warned me about men like you

He said, "Baby girl, he's playing you, he's playing you" (Ooh)

My daddy warned me about men like you

He said, "Baby girl, he's playing you, he's playing you (Ooh)

'Cause when trouble comes in town and men like me come around"

Oh, my daddy said shoot (Yee)

Oh, my daddy said shoot (Yee-haw)

"'Cause when trouble comes to town and men like me come around"

Oh, my daddy said shoot

Oh, my daddy said shoot

(Good job, Bey)
