Lyrics
[Intro: Shaggy & (Kerwin)
Hey Shyla, come yah, come yah
You have some boy who don't know the real truth
A run lef' dem responsibility, a run lef' dem fruit
(Daddy, I love you)
You understand?
Each man haffi show dem own responsibility
(Yes, I love you)
Each man response fi him own actions
Sing!
[Verse 1: Kerwin & (Shaggy)
Know that I love you
And mommy loves you too
The whole family do
Singing this song for you
Through the test, did your best
Some thought more could be done
I understand what you were feeling
Sometime you may have been wrong
But had to be strong
To help us through the suffering
(Suffering and the juggling and struggling)
Suffering
(Daddy, I love you)
[Chorus: Kerwin & (Shaggy)
I love you, I love you
Daddy, I love you
Miss you as much as I love you
I love you, I love you
Sorry you're not here with me
With me
(Papa, papa, respect and honor is due, papa)
For all the things that you do
Jah Jah will see you through
Respect and honor is due, papa
For all the things that you do
The children love you
Papa never cry
Never shed a tear
Work from 9 to 5
Him always deh deh
With him hand full of corn
Papa been through whole heap of storm
Deh deh, deh deh
When nuttin nah gwaan
All when di cupboards empty and no pot can put on
Him go pon him knees and pray
(Jah Jah help us)
And beg Jah provide fi later on
Where momma, where momma deh?
Where momma deh? She gone
True no money nuh inna di pocket
And no money nuh inna di palm
Momma wild, wild and cyan calm
Cyan calm
[Chorus: Kerwin & (Shaggy)
I love you, I love you
Daddy, I love you
Miss you as much as I love you
I love you, I love you
Sorry you're not here with me
(Respect, love and honor)
Know that I love you
And mommy loves you too
The whole family do
Singing this song for you
Through the test, did your best
Some thought more could be done
I understand what you were feeling
Sometime you may have been wrong
But had to be strong
To help us through the suffering
(Suffering, the juggling and struggling)
Suffering
(Oh yes, and mi sing)
Respect and honor is due
For all the things that papa do
Jah Jah will see you through
Respect and honor is due to you
For all the things that papa do
Papa, we love you
Papa, yes, him faithful
And papa, yes, him strong
Papa, him nuh gamble
Him nuh chase back a woman
Papa top priority
Haffi care fi di younger ones
Bless him, Jah Jah bless him
And make him live long
No one nuh'member papa
Papa never mention
As he trod these grounds of sickens
And papa, thank you fi di guidance
And di protection
