"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?
