Just the two of us.. (8X)

[Eminem]

Baby your da-da loves you (hey)

And I'ma always be here for you (hey) no matter what happens

You're all I got in this world

I would never give you up for nothin

Nobody in this world is ever gonna keep you from me

I love you

C'mon Hai-Hai, we goin to the beach

Grab a couple of toys and let da-da strap you in the car seat

Oh where's mama She's takin a little nap in the trunk

Oh that smell (whew!) da-da 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 da-da's toy knife, honey, let go of it (no!)

And don't look so upset, why you actin bashful

Don't you wanna help da-da build a sand castle (yeah!)

And mama said she wants to show how far she can float

And 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 and spilled ketchup on her shirt

Mama's messy isn't she We'll let her wash off in the water

and me and you can pway by ourselves, can't we

Just the two of us.. (2X)

And when we ride!

Just the two of us.. (2X)

Just you and I!

Just the two of us.. (2X)

And when we ride!

Just the two of us.. (2X)

Just you and I!

See honey.. there's a place called heaven and a place called hell

A place called prison and a place called jail

And da-da's probably on his way to all of em except one

Cause mama's got a new husband and a stepson

And you don't want a brother do ya (Nah)

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 (WAHH!)

I told you it's okay HaiHai, wanna ba-ba

Take a night-night Nan-a-boo, 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

Just the two of us.. (2X)

And when we ride!

Just the two of us.. (2X)

Just you and I!

Just the two of us.. (2X)

And when we ride!

Just the two of us.. (2X)

Just you and I!

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 (ma-maa!)

That's why you can't get her to wake, but don't worry

Da-da made a nice bed for mommy at the bottom of the lake

Here, you wanna help da-da tie a rope around this rock (yeah!)

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..

One.. two.. free.. WHEEEEEE! (whoooooshhhhh)

There goes mama, spwashin in the wa-ta

No more fightin wit dad, no more restraining order

No more step-da-da, no more new brother

Blow her kisses bye-bye, tell mama you love her (mommy!)

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.. (2X)

And when we ride!

Just the two of us.. (2X)

Just you and I!

Just the two of us.. (2X)

And when we ride!

Just the two of us.. (2X)

Just you and I!

Just the two of us.. (4X)

[Eminem]

Just me and you baby

is all we need in this world

Just me and you

Your da-da will always be there for you

Your da-da's always gonna love you

Remember that

If you ever need me I will always be here for you

If you ever need anything, just ASK

Da-da will be right there

Your da-da loves you

I love you baby

The song unfolds in a conversational style with both dark humor and horror, reflecting the complicated and drastically strained relationship. Key themes include domestic violence, betrayal, and the innocence of the daughter juxtaposed with the horrific act her father commits. Particularly poignant moments include Eminem's gentle reassurances to his daughter, which starkly contrast the violent context, highlighting the disturbing nature of the song.
