[Intro]
Hmm baby, la da da da

[Verse 1]
Every day and every night
Wondering why you can't be by my side
All of those times, I said you were wrong
Well I'm takin' them back 'cause the wait is too long

[Pre-Chorus]
If you could stay, for the rest of my life
I wouldn't mind since you'd be by my side
'Cause everything changes, whenever you leave
Please dad oh, please, stay with me

[Chorus]
Whenever you're gone I can hardly breathe
So please stay with me, stay with me
'Cause all that I have is me and my dreams
Please stay with me, stay with me
No don't go, 'cause I don't know what I do
There ain't no father like you
There ain't no father like you, oh oh la la la

[Verse 2]
For all of those days, and all of those nights
I pictured you everywhere in my side
How you make me laugh until I cry
Only you could tell me why

[Pre-Chorus]
If you could stay for the rest of my life
I wouldn't mind since you'd be by my side
'Cause everything changes whenever you leave
Please dad oh, please, stay with me

[Chorus]
Whenever you're gone I can hardly breathe
So please stay with me, stay with me
'Cause all that I have is me and my dreams
Please stay with me, stay with me
No don't go, 'cause I don't know what I do
There ain't no father like you, oh oh oh
There ain't no father like you

Meghan Trainor

Meghan Trainor is a pop singer-songwriter from Nantucket. Before launching her solo career, she wrote songs for the likes of Sia and Sabrina Carpenter. She entered pop stardom with the controversial but danceable body-positivity anthem “All About That Bass,” which led her 2015 debut LP, Title.

In 2016, Meghan released her sophomore effort Thank You, which was preceded by the smash single “NO.” Peaking at #3 on the Hot 100, top 20 track “Me Too” & the reggae-influenced “Better” supported the release of the album.

Staying reasonably quiet in 2017, Trainor dropped the single “I’m A Lady” for the “The The Lost Village.” Trainor underwent vocal surgery during the year and needed time to rest her voice before returning to the limelight.
