If It Was Good Enough For Daddy Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was down on the corner just the other day
Two cats were at it, and I heard one say
"Say man, I married this chick across town
And the day after the wedding, I caught her gettin' down!"
I stood there with my mouth open, not believing what I heard
When I asked the cat what he did
This was his very words, he said

[Chorus]
"If it was good enough for my daddy, I kind of figured
It would be good enough for me
"
He said, "If it was good enough for my daddy
I just knew it'll be good enough for me", yeah-yeah

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah-yeah-yeah

[Verse 2]
One night I decided to follow my old man
'Cause the way mom rapped about him, he had a master plan
He had to turn me onto this chick
So mom wouldn't find out
If mom ever asked me about it
This is what she would hear me shout
[Chorus]
I said mom "If it was good enough for daddy, I kind of figured
It would be good enough for me"
"If it was good enough for my daddy
I just knew it'll be good enough for me", yeah-yeah-yeah

[Post-Chorus]
If it was good enough for my daddy
It's good enough for me, yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
If it did good enough for my daddy
If it was good enough for my daddy
It was good enough
It was good enough for me
Tell you the truth, it was good for both of us
Yeah-yeah-yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
