Everybody knows you've been stepping on my toes
And I'm gettin pretty tired of it
Keep stepping out of line and messing with my mind
If you had any sense you'd quit
But ever since you were just a little bitty girl
You said I was the only man in this whole world
Now you better do some thinking then you'll find
You got the only daddy that'll walk the line
I keep working every day, all you wanna do is play
I'm sick of staying out all night
You've been coming unglued from your funny little moods
So, honey-baby, that ain't right
'Cause ever since you were just a little bitty girl
You said I was the only man in this whole world
Now you better do some thinking then you'll find
You got the only daddy that'll walk the line
Everybody knows you been stepping on my toes
And still just putting me on
When I start-a-walking, don't I hear you start-a-squawking
Begging me to come back home
'Cause ever since you were just a little bitty girl
You said I was the only man in this whole world
Now you better do some thinking then you'll find
You got the only daddy that'll walk the line
