[1st verse:]

What'll I do? What'll I do?

I'm just as sad as can be

Something awful happened to me

What'll I do? What'll I do?

I'm in a terrible plight

Like a great big fool I did

A very silly thing last night



[chorus:]

I left my door open and my daddy walked out

Without a doubt

Worried am I

Wondering why

He never stopped to say "goodbye"

I can't live without my lovin' daddy about

That's why I shout

He must come back to me or I'll lose my mind

A good man's mighty hard to find

He must have some lovin' now and then

Maybe that will bring him back again

I'm gonna keep my door wide open

Till my daddy comes back



[2nd verse:]

What'll I do? What'll I do?

I'm in a terrible rage

Like a bird, he flew from his cage

Daddy of mine, send me a line

Say that you'll come back to me

When you do I'll lock the door

And try my best to lose the key
