Yes Indeed He Do!

Lyrics

I don't know what makes it rain
 Can't tell what makes it snow
 While I don't claim to know it all
 But there's some things I do know
 There's one thing in particular
 That I never have to guess
 I ask myself this question
 And I had to tell me, yeah
 Oh, do my sweet, sweet daddy love me?
 Yes, indeed he do
 Is he true as stars above me?
 What kind of fool is you?
 He don't stay from home all night
 More than six times a week
 Oh, I know that I'm his Sheba
 And I know that he's my Sheik
 And when I ask him where he's been
 He grabs a rocking chair
 Then he knocks me down
 And says, "It's just a little love lick, dear"
 But if some woman looks at him
 I'll tear her half in two
 Oh, do my sweet, sweet daddy love me?
 Yes, indeed he do
 ♪
 Of course, my sweet daddy loves me
 Yes, indeed he do
 If he beats me or mistreats me
 What is that to you?
 I don't have to do no work
 Except to wash his clothes
 And darn his socks and press his pants
 And scrub the kitchen floor
 I wouldn't take a million
 For my sweet, sweet daddy Jim
 And I wouldn't give a quarter
 For another man like him
 Gee, ain't it great to have a man
 That's crazy over you
 Oh, do my sweet, sweet daddy love me?
 Yes, indeed he do
