Baby your da-da loves you
And I m always gonna be here for you
No matter what happened
You re all I got in this world
I d never give you up for nothin
Nobody in this world is ever gonna keep you from me
I love you

C mon Hai-Hai, we goin to the beach
Grab a couple of toys and let da-da strap you in the car seat
Where s mama? She s takin a little nap in the trunk
Oh that smell -- da-da musta runned over a skunk

Now I know what you re thinkin - 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 da-da s toy knife, honey, let go of it
And don t look so upset, why you actin bashful?
Don t you wanna help da-da build a sand castle?

And mama said she wants to show you how far she can float
Don t worry about that little boo-boo on her throat
It s just a little scratch - it don t hurt
her was eatin dinner while you were sweepin and spilled ketchup on her shirt
Mama s messy isn t she? We ll let her wash off in the water
Me and you can pway by ourselves, can t we?

Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Just the two of us

See honey -- there s a place called heaven and a place called hell
There s a place called prison and a place called jail
And da-da 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
She was bein mean to dad and made him real real mad
But I still feel sad that I put her on time-out
Sit back in your chair honey, quit tryin to climb out
I told you it s okay HaiHai wanna ba-ba take a night-night? Nan-a-boo, goo-goo ga-ga?
Her make goo-goo ca-ca? Da-da change your dia-dee
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
Ninety-seven Bonnie and Clyde, me and my daughter
Me and my daughter
Me and my daughter

Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Just the two of us

Wake up sweepy head 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 screamin in her ear
That s why you can t get her to wake, but don t worry
Da-da made a nice bed for mommy at the bottom of the lake
Here, you wanna help da-da 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.. oh-weeeeeee
There goes mama, splashin in the water
No more fightin with dad, no more restraining order
No more step-da-da, no more brother
Blow her kisses bye bye, tell mommy you love 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
