[Recitation]
I ran into an old friend of mine the other day
We hadn't seen each other for quite a while
What he had to say to me hit me pretty hard
'Cause I think a lot of folks get started this way, he said.

[Sing]
I thought it would be so easy, another one-night stand
She seemed so warm and willing right in the palm of my hand
Now its three months ago last Wednesday since I woke up in her bed
Lord, I think I love her, but it scares me half to death.

[Chorus]
'Cause you know I'm a rake and a ramblin' man
Free as an eagle flies
Well, look at me now and tell me true
Do I look like a daddy to you?
Oh, do I look like a daddy to you?

Now she's feeling' sick in the mornings, she can't get into her jeans
I spent my last ten dollars, bought her a second hand ring
I start to work next Monday, cause I just can't let her down
I've had me some good times, but it's all changin' now.

[Chorus]
You know I'm a rake and a ramblin' man
Free as an eagle flies
Well, look at me now and tell me true
Do I look like a daddy to you?
Oh, do I look like a daddy to you?
