(Verse 1)
Never thought I’d have a little girl,
Then you came to be and it spun me around.
Your momma worked so hard to bring you into the world,
7 pounds 9 ounces of pure joy.
Such a sweet little thing.
I’m just a father of four boys,
Never thought I’d be a girl dad, not ever.
All the sports, the wrestling, the fishing—
Now my future holds bows and dresses.
Yeah, I thought I had it all,
Til you came into my life.
(Chorus)
I’m a little rough around the edges,
But you make me wanna be a better dad.
Who knew your little heart would soften mine?
Lord, I’m a girl dad, and it feels so right.
From the pink lines to your first cry,
You turned my whole world upside down.
Never thought I’d have a little girl,
But heaven sent you, and I’m smiling now.
(Verse 2)
Mama said one more try and I resisted,
Then one day I thought, “Why not? Let’s try for a little girl one more time.”
Then the day came—she called me in,
Two pink lines and I just grinned.
A blood test said little girl, we held onto hope,
But had some doubts, some ups and downs, a scare or two.
An ultrasound and there was you.
God knew just what He was doing,
Knitting you inside the womb.
Pregnancy was hard, the birth was tough,
Lord knows it was love at first sight.
(Chorus)
I’m a little rough around the edges,
But you make me wanna be a better dad.
Who knew your little heart would soften mine?
Lord, I’m a girl dad, and it feels so right.
From the pink lines to your first cry,
You turned my whole world upside down.
Never thought I’d have a little girl,
But heaven sent you, and I’m smiling now.
(Bridge / Final Chorus - softer, then building)
Yeah, I’m a girl dad… bows and dresses,
Tiny hands wrapped around my finger.
You make me better than I ever knew I could be.
(Outro - Chorus fade)
Never thought I’d have a little girl…
But thank God I do.
