Letra Father in you de Mary J. Blige

Can I talk to you, baby

When I was a little girl
I didn´t have a father
And that´s why I´m leaning on you..
When I was a baby
I didn´t get a hug from daddy
That´s why I need a hug from you..

Ohh, It´s not easy and
I thank you for putting up with me
When you don´t have a daddy´s love

To say that you...
To say that I´m your little girl
(Are his little girl, Oh why didn´t you love me)
And give you the love..(I need love yeah yeah yeah)
you really deserve (And i believe I deserve it And that´s why

[Chorus]
That´s why I need, The father in you
(I need the father in you, baby)
That´s why I need, (Please don´t hurt me please)
The father in you
That´s why I need (Oh that´s why)
The father in you (Really need you)
That´s why I need (Please be true)
The father in you

Oh, things got bad, to the point
Where mommy couldn´t hold us down
And that´s when it hurt me so much
To see her, To see her cry
(Oh don´t cry, momma don´t cry momma)
Each and every night
(We´re gonna be alright that´s what I used to say)
I said that some day
That I would try to take his place
But it was too hard;
It was so hard trying to be a man and a woman
And that´s why I need the father in you

[chorus]
That´s why I need, (oh I needed)
The father in you, (I put my trust on you)
That´s why I need, (Please don´t let me domn)
The father in you.
That´s why I need,
The father in you (I need the father in you)
That´s why I need (Hold my hand)
The father in you

[Breakdown]

Because we never had one at home
(No No No) As a little girl...
So I understand, why daddy couldn´t be there
Cause it´s so obvious nobody taught him, how to be father to me
Oh and I´m not sayin this
to reminisce on the past
I´m just saying this to make you understand, That I needed a father
And this is my problem
This is why I couldn´t keep no one
This is why I couldn´t stay alone
I was so scared alone
Every woman needs a man
And I don´t think she understands
That she really needs a father
The father in you, my brother
She really needed the father
The father in you.
When your wife is speaking fellas
Pay attention,Yeah,don´t ignore her
No,no,no I really need the father in you.
