Baby, your Dada loves you,
And I'm always gonna be here for you, no matter what happened.
You're all I got in this world,
I'd never give you up for nothin'.
Nobody in this world is ever gonna keep you from me. I love you.

C'mon, hey-hey, we goin to the beach.
Grab a couple of toys and let Dada strap you in the car seat.
Where's Mama? She's takin a little nap in the trunk.
Oh that smell- Dada musta runned over a skunk.
Now I know what you're thinkin'- it's kind of late to go swimmin',
But you know your Mama, she's one of those type of women,
That do crazy things, and if she don't get her way, she'll throw a fit.
Don't play with Dada's toy knife, honey, let go of it,
And don't look so upset, why you actin' bashful?
Don't you want to help Dada build a sand castle?
And Mama said she wants to show how far she can float.
Don't worry about that little boo-boo on her throat,
It's just a little scratch- it don't hurt,
Her was eatin' dinner while you were sweepin' 
Spilled ketchup on her shirt.
Mama's messy isn't she? We'll let her wash off in the water,
Me and you can play by ourselves, can't we?

Justthe two of us. Justthe two of us
Just you and I.
Justthe two of us.

See honey, there's a place called heaven and a place called hell,
There's a place called prison and a place called jail.
An Dada's probably on his way to all of them except one.
Cause mama's got a new husband and a stepson.
And you don't want a brother do ya?
Maybe when you're old enough to understand a little better,
I'll explain it to ya.
But, for now, we'll just say Mama was real, real bad.
She was bein mean to Dad and made him real, real mad.
But, I still feel sad that I put her on time-out.
Sit back in your chair honey, quit tryin' to climb out.
I told you it's okay, hey-hey, want to ba-ba?
Take a night-night? Nan-a-goo, goo-goo ga-ga?
Her make goo-goo ca-ca? Da-da change your dia-dee.
Clean the baby up so her can take a nighty-nighty.
Your dad'll wake her up as soon as we get to the water.
Ninety-seven Bonnie and Clyde, me and my daughter, me and my daughter.
Me and my daughter.

Justthe two of us. Justthe two of us
Just you and I.
Justthe two of us

Wake up sweepy head- we're here, before we pway,
We're gonna take Mama for a wittle walk along the pier.
Baby, don't cry honey, don't get the wrong idea.
Mama's too sweepy to hear you screamin in her ear.
That's why you can't get her to wake, but don't worry,
Dada made a nice bed for mommy at the bottom of the lake.
Here, you want to help Dada tie a rope around this rock?
We'll tie it to her footsie then we'll roll her off the dock.
Ready now, here we go, on the count of free
Onetwofreewheee
There goes Mama, spwashin in the water;
No more fightin wit Dad, no more restraining order.
No more step-Dada, no more brother.
Blow her kisses 'bye-bye,' tell Mommy you love her.
Now we'll go play in the sand, build a castle and junk.
But first, just help Dad with two more things out the trunk.
Just the two of us.
