Yeah, I get it. But there's some context to the lyrics that were removed.
Listen to Spanish Eyes, which was the predecessor to the song, and starts with the same:
Hey little girl, is your daddy home?
Did he go away and leave you all alone?
The longer versions of the songs make it clear the the narrator and the object of his affection are the same age, and that she's shacking up with an older man for money (ie the "daddy" in question is a sugar daddy)
Still definitely a song about lust and viewing a woman as a sexual object, but you do lose some of the creepy age stuff
