My daughter won't date a man like me
The singer expresses a wish that his daughter won't be interested in men who resemble him.
I hope she don't love a guy like I was
He hopes that his daughter won't fall in love with someone similar to the person he used to be.
I won't let her be with someone I,
He won't allow his daughter to be with someone he knows will cause her harm or whom she won't love.
Know will mess up, who no, she won't love
Reiterates his concern that his daughter won't end up with someone who will hurt her.
I hope she gets her wits from my lover
He wishes his daughter inherits intelligence or good judgment from his partner.
I hope she gets raised by her mother, and not me
He prefers his daughter to be raised by her mother rather than himself, indicating a lack of confidence in his own parenting abilities.
Yeah, I want a family, but not from me
The singer desires a family but feels inadequate to provide that family.
Oh
The line "Oh" seems to signify a moment of reflection or emphasis on the preceding thoughts.
My daughter won't date a man like me
These lines are a repetition of the singer's concerns about his daughter's future partner, his hopes for her well-being, and his acknowledgment of his own shortcomings as a potential role model or father figure.
I hope she don't love a guy like I was
-I won't let her be with someone I,
-Know will mess up, who no, she won't love
-I hope she gets her wits from my lover
-I hope she gets raised by her mother, and not me
-Yeah, I want a family, but not from me
-I'm on the way, to some other party
-Buying a stranger, another old Birkin
-I want my first born to know that I'm sorry
-'Cuz I failed, if she's ever broken
-I want her to be with a guy who gon' hold her
-Buying her time, if it's all he can offer
-Holding her hand, 'cuz he scared if he lost her
-I want my daughter, nothing like her father
-And if she falls in love, it better be perfect
-Gentleman, funny guy, down to Earth, hold the door
-Intelligent, believe in God, hold her dress up off the floor
-Oh, yeah my daughter
-My daughter won't date a man like me
-I hope she don't love a guy like I was
-I won't let her be with someone I,
-Know will mess up, who no, she won't love
-I hope she gets her wits from my lover
-I hope she gets raised by her mother, and not me
-Yeah, I want a family, but not from me
-Oh
-My daughter won't date a man like me
-I hope she don't love a guy like I was
-I won't let her be with someone I,
-Know will mess up, who no, she won't love
-I hope she gets her wits from my lover
-I hope she gets raised by her mother, and not me
-Yeah, I want a family, but not from me
