like my daddy did

i found a little girl and i fell in love

she shines brighter than the stars above

i bought her a pretty diamond ring

asked her

if she would marry me

she said

will you treat me like my daddy did

left me and momma

i was just a kid

he took off runnin'

i never saw his face again

so

when it comes to love

i ain't the trustin' kind

there's a whole lotta scars on this heart of mine

i'm crazy about ya

i'm not sure i can

i took that pretty girl by the hand

i looked her in her eyes and said i understand

there's nothing' you could tell me that would change a thing

i still want you to wear my ring

i'll treat you just like my daddy did

he took me fishin' when i was a kid

when i played ball

he never missed a game

when it comes to love

i'm the trusting kind

there ain't no scars on this heart of mine

i'm crazy about ya

i'm pretty sure i can

tomorrow morning is our wedding day

and all your fears are gonna fade away

together we're gonna build a bridge

no

i won't treat ya like your daddy did

we'll have the kind of love that's the trusting kind

i'll give you ever piece of this heart of mine

we were meant to be

i'm pretty sure we can

i found a little girl and i fell in love

she shines brighter than the stars above
