When I look at you my dear I can't help wond'ring
What happened to my quiet baby girl
That ponytail just doesn't seem familiar
It's always swingin' in a crazy wor-orld
But it still belongs to me, daddy, darlin'
Although it might have grown I must admit
But underneath the swinging and the dancing
I think you'll find I haven't changed a bit
My peaceful life is always now invaded
With transistors bleeding out the latest hit
And your dresses all seem different to me darlin'
Are you sure you haven't changed that little bit, oh-oh yeah
Well I like to hear the latest thing in music
And I'd rather dance and stay at home and knit
But it's best of all when we can get together
So you see I really haven't changed a bit
Come over here my teenage possum and I'll tell you
All about a brand new song I wrote today
You can tell me if you think that I should change it
Or will I sing it in the same old country way-ay
Keep a country tune to all the songs you sing, dad
'Cause they swing along as well as any hit
I was raised on country music and you'll see dad
That your teenage daughter hasn't changed a bit
Let's keep a country tune to all the songs we sing now
'Cause they swing along as well as any hit
We were raised on country music and we'll show you
That our kind of music hasn't changed a bit
