I saw that this was still being debated... ("But Stipe's not far behind). Those are the correct lyrics for that line -- on the Hootie and the Blowfish website, the lyrics posted there are the same ("But Stipe's not far behind"). Most likely 'she' is talking about Michael Stipe, lead singer for R-E-M. So, she loves her dad but Michael Stipe's not far behind in that category.
