0:44She had a habit that she couldn't really stop
0:46Needed money so she had to hit the block
0:49Nobody knew it so
0:50She steady had to play a role
0:52Went to church
0:53But surely tearin' up her soul
0:55She'd repent sometimes
0:56Then she'd press rewind
0:57Started over messin' up her life
1:00Couldn't cope so she had to hit a knee slow
1:03Started prayin' to the Lord
1:05She was a preacher's preacher's daughter
1:09Sendin' herself the tears
1:12Sendin' herself the tears
1:16A preacher's preacher's daughter
1:20Sendin' herself the tears
1:23Sendin' herself the tears
1:27A preacher's daughter
1:28So she had common sense
1:30It's ashamed the way her life went
1:33He's too busy though
1:34Steady savin' souls
1:35To realize he lost one of his own
1:38Full of pain and stuck out in the dark
1:41I even heard her father made his mark
1:44Now she's confused
1:45Now she's about to lose everything
1:47She thought she ever owned
1:48She was a preacher's preacher's daughter
1:53Sendin' herself the tears
1:56Sendin' herself the tears
2:00A preacher's preacher's daughter
2:03Sendin' herself the tears
2:06Sendin' herself the tears
2:29It's a cryin' shame oh
2:33It's a shame she couldn't make a way out
2:36Now I'm sittin' here twiddlin' my thumbs
2:38'Cause her life is gone and her kids are gone
2:41And she lost everything and see her own father
2:44Was a preacher but he couldn't pray for her
2:45'Cause he was too busy prayin' for everybody else
2:49And layin' hands on all the women in the congregation
2:53But I guess that's what goes on
2:54When you walk right and perfect
2:56And your whole house seems to be perfect
2:59And behind closed doors everybody
3:03Everybody suffers from some kind of demon
3:05But nobody knows it until it all unvails itself
3:11Your own daughter is out there
3:14Locked out in the dark
3:16She was a preacher's daughter
3:18Help me Lord
3:21Help me Lord I need you right now
3:28Help
3:29Help me Lord
3:31Help me Lord
3:33Help me Lord
3:38Help me Lord
3:44Say I need you right now
3:47I need you
3:48I need you daddy
3:51Could you hear me prayin'
3:53Don't you hear me prayin'
3:56My heart is raining again
3:59She's somebody's daughter
4:01I said she's somebody's daughter
4:04She's somebody's daughter
4:08I know you got somebody
4:12I need you say I need you
4:16I don't know what to do
4:18She's somebody's baby
4:20I'm dyin' inside
4:21She's somebody's baby
4:22I'm dyin' inside
4:24I'm crying
4:25I can't
4:26I can't stop the tears from fallin'
4:29Oh daddy
4:31Oh daddy
4:32She's somebody's baby
4:37She's somebody's baby
4:43She's somebody's baby
4:45I need you I need you I need you daddy
4:50I need you I need you I need you daddy
4:55Oh I need you
4:59Oh daddy
