The Breakthrough
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.
