[Chorus]
Hey baby, can't you hear
Your daddy's heartbeat?
Hey baby, can't you hear
Your daddy's heartbeat?
[Verse 1]
Tried to tell you people
I thought I knew the score
With those pretty women
Hangin' round my door
All of them loved me
Some have played me for a fool
But I never saw another style
When I was going to school
[Chorus]
Hey baby, can't you hear
Your daddy's heartbeat?
Hey baby, can't you hear
Your daddy's heartbeat?
[Verse 2]
Time after time
I told myself, oh
Don't you ever leave her
Never let her go
You see, she's kinda groovy
Like a fine glass of wine
And she's got the kind of love
That makes a man lose his mind
[Chorus]
Hey baby, can't you hear
Your daddy's heartbeat?
Hey baby, can't you hear
Your daddy's heartbeat?
[Verse 3]
One of these days, girl
I'm gonna get straight
When it's all together
Hope it's not too late
Got to make it back
To the crazy (?)
'Cause I'm livin' all alone
Baby, hurts so bad
[Outro]
Hey, hey, baby can't you hear it?
Can't you hear your daddy?
Can't you hear your daddy's heart?
Hey baby, can't you hear
Your daddy's heartbeat?
Hey baby, can't you hear
Your daddy's heartbeat?
[Verse 1]
Tried to tell you people
I thought I knew the score
With those pretty women
Hangin' round my door
All of them loved me
Some have played me for a fool
But I never saw another style
When I was going to school
[Chorus]
Hey baby, can't you hear
Your daddy's heartbeat?
Hey baby, can't you hear
Your daddy's heartbeat?
[Verse 2]
Time after time
I told myself, oh
Don't you ever leave her
Never let her go
You see, she's kinda groovy
Like a fine glass of wine
And she's got the kind of love
That makes a man lose his mind
[Chorus]
Hey baby, can't you hear
Your daddy's heartbeat?
Hey baby, can't you hear
Your daddy's heartbeat?
[Verse 3]
One of these days, girl
I'm gonna get straight
When it's all together
Hope it's not too late
Got to make it back
To the crazy (?)
'Cause I'm livin' all alone
Baby, hurts so bad
[Outro]
Hey, hey, baby can't you hear it?
Can't you hear your daddy?
Can't you hear your daddy's heart?
