I'm the kind of man that counts his blessings
You my love come in at number 3
That's not to say you're any less essential
Than all the ones who make me be me

But You'll have a special thing about you
A power over me you'll always own
Something's telling me I'd best be ready
Cause Daddy's little girl is coming home

I can't wait to be wrapped around your little finger
I can't wait to wish that you'd stay five years old
I can't wait to have your arms around my neck and squeezin'
This waiting drives me mad
(cause) I can't wait to be your dad

I imagine my first invitation
To a party with your dolls to drink some tea
Then we'll be making mud pies in the back yard
We're gonna do it all, just you and me

Girl, you're gonna be just who you want to
With all the love you need so you can grow
But I'll tell you now, I'm holding to the young days
Its gonna be so hard to let you go

I can't wait to be wrapped around your little finger
I can't wait to wish that you'd stay five years old
I can't wait to be the one you run to when you're sad and
Those times will drive me mad
But I can't wait to be your dad

Bridge:
It's a mad rush
Knowing how the world will treat you but
Given time you'll find your way
Love you so much
When you need me I'll be there but
By the way, you'll be ok

Because if your mother's any indication
Of how you're gonna be and how you'll roll
I'm the one who's gonna be in trouble
Because both my girls are gonna rule my world

I can't wait to be wrapped around your little finger
I can't wait to wish that you'd stay five years old
I can't wait to cause the boys that come around some sufferin'
They're gonna drive me mad
I can't wait to be your dad
This waiting drives me mad
I can't wait to be your dad
