Daughter
David Gates
Daughter, don't give your love to the first man you see
Just bide your time so your heart will be free to find the one
Girl you don't have to run
Daughter, don't think that love has gone out of style
Just some folks every once in a while don't understand
How this world was planned
Now I know you're wondering how
You know when the real thing is comin' your way
When you live for him and not you
You'll know that it's truly comin' to stay
Daughter, I know it's hard to make yourself wait
But when the right man comes it's never too late
So don't you cry
He'll be here by and by
And steal your heart away
