Lyrics

I Can See The Daddy in You Words & Music by Diana Di Gioia

She calls me Daddy when I put out spiders,
and when my ass looks hot in jeans
I call her Daddy when she changes flat tires
and when her bicep makes me scream

She gives me that look when I play the guitar
or when I’m holdin’ my own with the wise crackin’ guys
I give her that look when she’s sawin’ down tree limbs
and and carryin things that are twice her size

Oooh, ooh, the butchie dykes are laughin’
One woman’s Daddy is another gal’s femme
Ooh, ooh, they never see it happen
I bet I look like a girl to them, girl to them, girl to them!

I call her Daddy when she’s packin the car trunk
for our annual P’town trip
She calls me Daddy when I push her up against the
elevator wall for our ritual kiss
I give her that look when she’s draggin that mower
through thigh high weeds a mile wide
She gives me that look when I’m puttin’ our bikes
on the car trunk rack for our morning ride

Oooh, Oooh, the butchie dykes are laughin’
One woman’s Daddy is another gal’s femme
Ooh, ooh, they never see it happen
I bet she looks like a girl to them, girl to them, girl to them!

And I know she was raised a girl
And she knows how to bring that Mommie love
Kiss a little boo boo, tuck me in clean sheets at night
But what really rocks my world
is when she gets me with that Daddy love
Up on top, never stop, rockin’ till the morning light

And I don’t give a damn what they all say
I can see it in her eyes, her walk, her way
Girl, you can be my boyfriend any day
Cause I can see the Daddy
I can see the Daddy
I can see the Daddy in you!
