Sweet Lovin' Daddy

The guys are gonna wander 
Go out and play some times 
But girls you must not let it get you down 
Just take this advice I give you just like a mother 
You try to match your guy just for two 
Don't try to do the things that the guys do 
Girls you can't do what the guys do, no 
And still be a lady 
Girls you can't do what the guys do, no 
And still be a lady, no 
 
And listen girls when you give your heart away 
You can easily be hurt 
And the least little wrong he does 
Always seems like dirt 
So take this advice I give you just like a mother 
You try to match your man just for two 
Don't try to do the things the guys do 
Cause girls you can't do what the guys do, no 
And still be a lady 
Girls you can't do what the guys do, no 
And still be a lady, no 
 
When you put your faith in one guy 
Sometimes he'll make you happy 
sometimes he'll make you cry 
But don't lose your self-respect 
Trying to get revenge 
Cause no matter how you do it 
You'll lose it in the end 
Cause girls you can't do what the guys do, no 
And still be a lady 
Girls you can't do what the guys do, no 
And still be a lady, no
