Oo Papa Do
I've got a man who loves me, swears by the stars above
And every night, we dim the light, and then he tells me of his love
And when he pulls me near, all you can hear is
Oo papa do, oo papa do


He lets me know he needs me, this he will declare
This much I know, he tells me so, and he'll take me anywhere
And when he kiss my cheek, it feels so sweet, I say
Oo papa do, oo papa do


Oo papa do, I do the things you do that sets my soul on fire
Oo papa do, I really go for you, you know you are my heart's desire

When time comes for him to leave me, I stand with tears in my eyes
Right then I know, I love him so, he's the man I idolize

And when he says goodbye, all I can cry is
Oo papa do, oo papa do

Oo papa do, do the things you do that sets my soul on fire
Oo papa do, I really go for you, you know you are my heart's desire

When time comes for him to leave me, I stand with tears in my eyes
Right then I know, I love him so, he's the man I idolize
And when he says goodbye, I start to cry
Oo papa do, oo papa do
Oo papa do, oo papa do
Oo papa do, oo papa do
Oo papa do...
