Baby, your dada loves you

And I'mma always be here for you

No matter what happens

You're all I got in this world

I would never give you up for nothing

Nobody in this world is ever gonna keep you from me

I love you

C'mon Hai-Hai, we going to the beach

Grab a couple of toys and let Dada strap you in the car seat

Oh, where's Mama? She's taking a little nap in the trunk

Oh, that smell? Dada must've runned over a skunk

Now, I know what you're thinking

It's kind of late to go swimmin'

But you know your Mama, she's one of those type of women that do crazy things

And if she don't get her way, she'll throw a fit

Don't play with Dada's toy knife, honey, let go of it

And don't look so upset, why you acting bashful?

Don't you wanna help Dada build a sandcastle?

And Mama said she wants to show how far she can float

And don't worry about that little boo-boo on her throat

It's just a little scratch, it don't hurt

Her was eating dinner while you were sweeping and spilled ketchup on her shirt

Mama's messy, ain't she? We'll let her wash off in the water

And me and you can pway by ourselves, can't we?

Just the two of us, just the two of us

And when we ride

Just the two of us, just the two of us

Just you and I

Just the two of us, just the two of us

And when we ride

Just the two of us, just the two of us

See, honey

There's a place called heaven and a place called hell

A place called prison and a place called jail

And Dada's probably on his way to all of 'em except one

'Cause Mama's got a new husband and a stepson

And you don't want a brother, do ya?

Maybe when you're old enough to understand a little better I'll explain it to ya

But for now, we'll just say Mama was real, real bad

Was being mean to Dad and made him real, real mad

But I still feel sad that I put her on timeout

Sit back in your chair, honey, quit trying to climb out

I told you it's okay, Hai-Hai, want a ba-ba?

Take a night-night? Nan-a-boo, goo-goo ga-ga?

Her make poo-poo ca-ca? Dada change your didee

Clean the baby up so her can take a nighty-nighty

Your dad'll wake her up as soon as we get to the water

'97 Bonnie and Clyde

Me and my daughter

Just the two of us, just the two of us

And when we ride

Just the two of us, just the two of us

Just you and I

Just the two of us, just the two of us

And when we ride

Just the two of us, just the two of us

Just you and I

Wake up, sweepyhead, we're here, before we pway

We're gonna take Mama for a wittle walk along the pier

Baby, don't cry, honey, don't get the wrong idea

Mama's too sweepy to hear you screaming in her ear

That's why you can't get her to wake, but don't worry

Dada made a nice bed for Mommy at the bottom of the lake

Here, you wanna help Dada tie a rope around this rock?

We'll tie it to her footsie then we'll roll her off the dock

Ready now, here we go, on the count of free

One, two, free, whee!

There goes Mama, splashing in the water

No more fighting with Dad, no more restraining order

No more stepdada, no more new brother

Blow her kisses bye-bye, tell Mama you wuv her

Now we'll go play in the sand, build a castle and junk

But first, just help Dad with two more things out the trunk

Just the two of us, just the two of us

And when we ride

Just the two of us, just the two of us

Just you and I

Just the two of us, just the two of us

And when we ride

Just the two of us, just the two of us

Just you and I

Just me and you, baby, is all we need in this world

Just me and you

Your dada will always be here for you

Your dada's always gonna love you

Remember that

If you ever need me I'm always be here for you

If you ever need anything, just ask

Dada will be right there

Your dada loves you

I love you, baby
