Send "Daughter" Ringtone to Cell

every thing she sees she says she wants
every time she wants i see she gets
thats my daughter in the water
every thing she owns i bought her
every thing she owns
thats my daughter in the water
every thing she knows i taught her
every thing she knows
every thing i say she takes to heart
every time she takes she takes apart
thats my daughter in the water
every time she fell i caught her
every time she fell
thats my daughter in the water
i lost everytime i fought her
yeah i lost every time
every time she blinks she strikes somebody blind
every time she thinks, it blows her tiny mind
thats my daughter in the water
who'd of ever thought her (who'd of ever thought)
thats my daughter in the water
i lost everytime i fought her
yeah i lost every time

    General Comment:I have a 1-year-old daughter who I love more than words. I love her so much, in fact, that every time I have the misfortune to hear this song, I want to rip her ears off and pour acid into her eustachian tubes so I can save her from the miserable experience of listening to this crap.

    I have never heard a song trying so hard to be effusive and trying to do it with a proliferation of ridiculous rhymes crammed in ever crevice. Rufus is undoubtedly embarrassed of his hack father.

    General Comment:I love this song. It is the perfect expression of a father's love for his child. Perfect at the end of knocked up!

    General Comment:it's obviously about a father's unconditional love for his little girl.

    General Comment:just having a baby in a few months and thinking how lucky musicians are to be able to write music for and about their children. i may have to try, because what is more bueatiful than a father singing to his daughter?
