[1st verse:] What'll I do? What'll I do? I'm just as sad as can be Something awful happened to me What'll I do? What'll I do? I'm in a terrible plight Like a great big fool I did A very silly thing last night [Refrain:] I left my door open and my daddy walked out Without a doubt Worried am I Wondering why He never stopped to say "goodbye" I can't live without my lovin' daddy about That's why I shout He must come back or I'll lose my mind A good man's mighty hard to find He must have some lovin' now and then Maybe that will bring him back again I'm gonna keep my door wide open Till my daddy comes back [2nd verse:] What'll I do? What'll I do? I'm in a terrible rage Like a bird, he flew from his cage Daddy of mine, send me a line Say that you'll come back to me When you do I'll lock the door And try my best to lose the key
