I REMEMBER LOOKING UP
TO LOOK UP TO HIM
AND I REMEMBER
MOST THE TIME
HE WASN'T THERE
I'D BE WAITING
AT THE DOOR
WHEN HE GOT HOME
AT NIGHT
HE'D PASS ME BY
TO GO PASS OUT
IN HIS CHAIR
AND I'D SAY
WALK A LITTLE
STRAIGHTER DADDY
YOU'RE SWAYIN'
SIDE TO SIDE
YOUR FOOTSTEPS
MAKE ME DIZZY
AND NO MATTER
HOW I TRY
I KEEP TRIPPIN'
AND STUMBLIN'
IF YOU'D LOOK
DOWN HERE YOU'D SEE
WALK A LITTLE
STRAIGHTER DADDY
YOU'RE LEADING ME
WELL HE STUMBLED
IN THE GYM
ON GRADUATION DAY
AND I COULDN'T HELP
BUT FEEL
SO ASHAMED
AND I WASN'T SURPRISED
A BIT
WHEN HE DIDN'T STAY
WELL HE STUMBLED OUT
BEFORE
THEY CALLED MY NAME
AND I THOUGHT
WALK A LITTLE
STRAIGHTER DADDY
YOU'RE SWAYIN'
SIDE TO SIDE
IT'S NOT JUST ME
WHO'S WATCHIN'
YOU'VE CAUGHT
EVERYBODY'S EYE
AND YOU'RE TRIPPIN'
AND STUMBLIN'
AND EVEN THOUGH
I'VE TURNED EIGHTEEN
WALK A LITTLE
STRAIGHTER DADDY
YOU'RE STILL LEADING ME
THE OLD MAN'S
STILL LIKE
HE ALWAYS WAS BUT I
LOVE HIM ANYWAY
IF I'VE LEARNED
ONE THING FROM HIM
IT'S MY KIDS WILL NEVER
HAVE TO SAY
WALK A LITTLE
STRAIGHTER DADDY
YOU'RE SWAYIN'
SIDE TO SIDE
YOUR FOOTSTEPS
MAKE ME DIZZY
AND NO MATTER
HOW I TRY
I KEEP TRIPPIN'
AND STUMBLIN'
IF YOU'D LOOK
DOWN HERE YOU'D SEE
WALK A LITTLE
STRAIGHTER DADDY
YOU'RE LEADING ME
YEAH WALK A LITTLE
STRAIGHTER DADDY
YOU'RE LEADING ME
