Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh, tell me now (Mmm-hmm)
[Verse 1]
Tell me pretty daddy, what's the matter now? (Oh yeah)
Tell me pretty daddy, what's the matter now?
Are you trying to quit me, and you don't know how (Ahh)
[Chorus]
Tell me, daddy, tell me, what's going wrong?
You say you're leaving, but you're not that strong
I hear you speaking, but it sounds like a song
Oh daddy, what's the matter now?
[Verse 2]
I'd rather be dead, buried in the sea (Mmm)
I'd rather be dead, buried in the sea
Than hear the man I love say he don't want me (Oh no)
[Chorus]
Tell me, daddy, tell me, what's going wrong?
You say you're leaving, but you're not that strong
I hear you speaking, but it sounds like a song
Oh daddy, what's the matter now?
[Bridge]
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord (Yeah)
Lord, Lord, Lordy, Lordy, Lord (Tell me)
Why's the love I give just never enough?
Why's this road we walk just so damn tough? (Oh Lord)
[Verse 3]
I'd rather see my coffin come rolling in my door, Lord, Lord (Lordy)
Rather see my coffin come rolling in my door
Than hear my daddy say "I don't want you no more" (No more, no)
[Verse 3]
Lord, Lord (Lordy)
Rather see my coffin come rolling in my door
Than hear my daddy say "I don't want you no more" (No more, no)
[Chorus]
Tell me, daddy, tell me, what's going wrong?
You say you're leaving, but you're not that strong
I hear you speaking, but it sounds like a song
Oh daddy, what's the matter now?
[Final Verse]
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord (Oh my Lord)
Lord, Lord, Lordy, Lordy, Lord (Yeah)
Oh the man I love, he treats me like a dog
Tell me, daddy, what's the matter now? (What's the matter now?)
Oh, what's the matter now? (Oh daddy)
[Final Verse]
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord (Oh my Lord)
Lord, Lord, Lordy, Lordy, Lord (Yeah)
Oh the man I love, he treats me like a dog
Tell me, daddy, what's the matter now? (What's the matter now?)
Oh, what's the matter now? (Oh daddy)
[OUTRO]
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord (Oh my Lord)
Lord, Lord, Lordy, Lordy, Lord (Yeah)
Oh the man I love, he treats me like a dog
Tell me, daddy, what's the matter now? (What's the matter now?)
Oh, what's the matter now? (Oh daddy)
