Daddy Dear - The Real Thing

Child came home from school

Looking rather sad

I say hey what’s wrong

Was today that bad

Oh daddy dear is something wrong with me

Am I something not supposed to be

Oh daddy dear they call me funny names

And they don’t ask me to play their games, oh no

I sat her on my knee

And wiped the tears away

While I tried to think

Those special words to say

Oh daddy dear is something wrong with me

Am I something not supposed to be

Oh daddy dear they call me funny names

And they don’t ask me to play their games, oh no

As I look into those eyes, and I see the pain

And it takes me right back, to when I felt the same

As I look for the words, I still can’t explain

To my innocent child, going through the same again

Oh, listen child I said

The world is made that way

So dry those weeping eyes

And let me hear you say

Oh daddy dear there’s nothing wrong with me

And I am everything I’m supposed to be

Oh daddy dear don’t care about silly names

And I don’t want to play their silly games

I don’t want to play their silly games
