Yo Mister how’s your daughter
|
You really ought to know
|
For every thing you taught her
|
Don’t matter when she’s all alone
|
|
My crazy friend named Cara
|
After all of us told her, “No”
|
She'd get another speed ball
|
Now she’s going no where slow
|
|
Her papa caught her on the first time
|
And put her out on the street
|
Cara told me to remind him
|
That she was only 17
|
|
Yo Mister how’s your daughter (How’s your girl)
|
You really ought to know
|
Every thing you taught her
|
It don’t matter when she’s all alone
|
|
Cara got hooked up with the wrong kids
|
Then she started skipping school
|
Then Cara got high to make disappear
|
A world full of fools
|
|
In her eyes her father was the biggest fool of them all
|
And she was speeding, that’s what she’d say
|
Maybe, maybe, maybe she wouldn’t talk so stupid
|
If she knew how much she needed this fool today
|
|
Yo Mister how’s your daughter
|
You really ought to know
|
For every thing you taught her
|
Don’t matter when she’s all alone
|
|
She needs you right now Mister
|
‘Cause she ain’t got long to live
|
It’s so easy to say, “I love you”
|
But it’s harder to forgive
|
|
Her father cried when I told him
|
That Cara twice got knocked up
|
He said, “Just like her mama, uh-huh
|
She shows her body when she wants to show love
|
She tried that stuff with me and I beat her down”
|
There’s no way I could let her stay
|
Couldn’t let her stick around
|
|
‘Cause I tried so hard to raise her right
|
He said, “What made her turn out this way”
|
I don’t know
|
What made her turn out this way
|
I don’t know, I don’t know
|
And I said and I said and I said
|
|
Yo Mister how’s your daughter
|
You really ought to know (Every thing)
|
Every thing you taught her
|
Don’t matter when she’s all alone
|
|
She needs you right now Mister
|
She ain’t got long to live
|
It’s so easy to say, “I love you”
|
But it’s harder to forgive
|

Yo Mister how’s your daughter (How’s your daughter tonight)
