When I look at you my dear I can't help wond'ring What happened to my quiet baby girl That ponytail just doesn't seem familiar It's always swingin' in a crazy wor-orld
But it still belongs to me, daddy, darlin' Although it might have grown I must admit But underneath the swinging and the dancing I think you'll find I haven't changed a bit
My peaceful life is always now invaded With transistors bleeding out the latest hit And your dresses all seem different to me darlin' Are you sure you haven't changed that little bit, oh-oh yeah
Well I like to hear the latest thing in music And I'd rather dance and stay at home and knit But it's best of all when we can get together So you see I really haven't changed a bit
Come over here my teenage possum and I'll tell you All about a brand new song I wrote today You can tell me if you think that I should change it Or will I sing it in the same old country way-ay
Keep a country tune to all the songs you sing, dad 'Cause they swing along as well as any hit I was raised on country music and you'll see dad That your teenage daughter hasn't changed a bit
Let's keep a country tune to all the songs we sing now 'Cause they swing along as well as any hit We were raised on country music and we'll show you That our kind of music hasn't changed a bit.
