Lyrics Little Girl - Mic Righteous

Momma run away
No way I could do the same
Oh no, no child
Daddy′s gotta break the cycle
And I'ma pay for our summer holiday
Just to see you smile
Oh my dear child

Little girl
Two years you been in the world
Don′t want you to wonder why I writ this now
If there's one thing that I learnt in this life of mine
It's to fight for yours
Because life is short
And can become a living hell

Little girl
Don′t let ′em tell you that your daddy isn't well
He′s threatening to kill himself
He's the villain and the criminal
I ain′t innocent but I ain't in a cell
I done some toxic shit, your mother did as well

And if that′s one thing I learnt from her
Never put another person first
Only person that you need to protect is yourself
It's not selfish, the world is (trust)
Little girl
Listen up
This your song in case I ain't around to get in touch
In case you down, I′ll set you up
You got me, and bless your mum

′Cause I got you, I'm begging ya
Never let anyone, get the better of ya
Be the best and watch the blessings come
That′s lesson one
This book has never been closed

You will never be alone
'Cause I′ll never leave no
You were seven weeks old
Three deep in a bedsit on Etherley Road
Just know I tried to fix a broken home
And it broke me so

Momma run away
No way I could do the same
Oh no, no child
Daddy's gotta break the cycle
And I′ma pay for our summer holiday
Just to see you smile
Oh my dear child

I'll never leave you lonely
Never leave you I'll
Never leave you lonely
I′ll never leave you lonely
I′ll never leave you no
Never leave you lonely

I ain't gonna lie, I miss your mum
The little mug just split us up
We had a runt and it was fun
Apart from all the kicking off
And getting locked out
As she doesn′t give a shit o'clock
And now I got a little girl
But got a lot of women problems

What is it I′m gonna tell her
When her fella is a wrong 'un?
Know you like to see from one side
When something goes rotten
When you look at it from outside
It genuinely wasn′t
Putting something dead in a box
Essentially it's a coffin

When something's out of date
Chuck the fruit away
I was only your age
My mother moved away
Before that we saw so many stupid fights
She had to do what′s right
But I couldn′t do the same
Not to you

Not when I been through the pain
My little girl
My baby of fat
Daddies little lady and that
You made me a man
Who knows baby
Maybe mum and dad will learn to forgive
Maybe one day we could chat

But that ain't any time soon
So I′m facing the facts
And just in case I don't make it to see another day
I′m making this track
Basically saying no matter what
I ain't changing even though
This ain′t what I planned

God made me a dad
And I'm taking a stand
I'm raising you any way that I can
Over phones is something they could do
′Cause they got no control
I tried to fix a broken home
But it broke me so

Momma run away
No way I could do the same
Oh no, no child
Daddy′s gotta break the cycle
And I'ma pay for our summer holiday
Just to see you smile
Oh my dear child

I′ll never leave you lonely
Never leave you I'll
Never leave you lonely
I′ll never leave you lonely
I'll never leave you no
Never leave you lonely

True say it′s a miserable world, and I want you to know no matter what happens to me
I'll always love you
And no matter what you'll always have your soul
So you′ll never be alone
And I′ll always be a part of you, trust
I love you

I'll never leave you lonely
Never leave you, I′ll
Never leave you lonely (lonley, no way)
I'll never leave you lonely (never)
I′ll never leave you, no (ever)
Never leave you lonely (aw gimme a kiss)
(Gimme a kiss, ay, no, uh) daddy?

I'll never leave you lonely
Never leave you, I′ll
Never leave you lonely (she's the cutest)
Not even tryin' it
I know you′re good with kids
Get that on a sip (gimme a kiss)
