Lyrics:

The Games That Daddies Play

he Put His Arms Around Her Shoulder
and With A Voice That Sounded Older
he Said Mom Iãve Got Something On My Mind
i Donãt Want To Bother You
but I Sure Need To Talk To You
if You Could Only Spare The Time
and Mom I Hope You Understand
how Much I Love And Need You And
i Donãt Want You To Take This The Wrong Way
but Donãt You Think Iãm Old Enough
and Big Enough And Strong Enough To Play
the Games That Daddies Play

my Friend Billy Parkerãs Dad
came By Today To See Me And
he Wondered If Iãd Like To Go
with Him And Billy On A Hike
and Maybe Camp Out Overnight
the Way Iãve Seen Them Do In Picture Shows
and Thereãs One Thing Iãd Like To Do
and Maybe If I Asked Him To
heãs Sit And Talk To Me Man To Man
weãd Only Be Gone Overnight
and I Could Find Out What Itãs Like To Play
the Games That Daddies Play

she Quickly Turned To Hide The Tears
from Her Son Of Seven Years
he Didnãt Know Sheãd Read Between The Lines
heãd Never Really Known His Dad
and Although Heãd Never Ask
she Knew Exactly What Was On His Mind
she Searched Her Mind In Desperation
six Long Years Of Separation
dimmed The Words She Knew She Had To Say
i Hope Youãre Never Big Enough
or Old Enough Or Bold Enough To Play
the Games That Daddies Play

i Know You Need And Want His Love
but Son, Youãre The Victim Of
another Kind Of Games That Daddies Play
