I don't know who you are, but one day, I'm going to
And it's gonna break my heart when she gives hers to you
And it won't be tomorrow, but it's gonna be too soon
When I walk her down that aisle and do what daddies have to do

And she might be wearin' white, but her first dress, it was pink
She might be your better half, yeah, but she's my everything
We'll both love her forever, but I loved her long before
And one day, I know I'll give her away
Buddy, that don't mean she's yours

Yesterday, she said her first word, she's a long way from "I do"
Right now, she runs to me, one day, she'll run to you
And it's gonna be your best day, but it's gonna be my worst
You might watch her walkin' towards you, but I saw her walkin' first

And she might be wearin' white, but her first dress, it was pink
She might be your better half, man, but she's my everything
We'll both love her forever, but I loved her long before
And one day, I know I'll give her away
Buddy, that don't mean she's yours

'Cause she's still my little girl
It's crazy thinkin' one day, she'll be someone else's world

And she might be wearin' white, but her first dress, it was pink
She might be your better half, but to me, she's everything
And we'll both love her forever, but I loved her long before
And one day, I know I'll give her away
Buddy, that don't mean she's yours

Even if she takes your last name
Buddy, that don't mean she's yours
