"Where's My Daddy?"


You have stories about "Deadbeat Dads"

But there's another that will make you sad
It's when a child's caretaker
is also their heartbreaker


They are told that their dads don't care

And no matter what they won't be there
The kids are confused and feeling blue
Even if the stories are not true


The reason for the feeling

is really quite revealing
If the light would shine true
the kids would not be blue


'Cause there are more out there

that really don't care
The kids ask why
do moms make up these lies


The truth be known

their lies would be blown
That the moms are causing the sighs
and tears in their eyes


The monster called truth

when known will soothe
Its' known as P.A.S.
and it causes a mess


Its hard to tell the truth

when the moms are causing the kids to ask...


Where's my Daddy?
