she's nine years old
she calls me john
she says i'm her best friend
'cause i love her mom
i walk her to school
she thinks that i'm cool
she thinks i'm cool 

on the first and third fridays
we drive across town
she sits there beside me
the world turns upside down
'cause when we arrive
she runs to his side
her arms open wide 

five days a week
i sing her to sleep
she's my little pearl
but it's plain to see
she'll always be
her daddy's little girl 

nobody wins
man that's a fact
but what i would give
for one hug like that
i smile and i wave
try to be brave
as they turn away 

chorus 

there's just something there
that we'll never share
she's daddy's little girl
