Carly Simon - Fairweather Father lyrics

(carly simon)

Fairweather father

Fairweather father

Doesn't like to hear the baby cry

Doesn't like to about the aches and pains

Of the day gone by

Of the day gone by

But the mother advertised as a bargain wife

She'd make things easy for the rest of his life

And to make herself more appealing

She'd think only of him and forget her own feelings

Fairweather father

Fairweather father

Wants his wife to be the truckdriver

Wants his wife to be the gardener

And still look like a hollywood starlet

And still look like a hollywood starlet

So the mother gets mad and she leaves town

That brings the father and the baby down

She wants the father to find her

Drinkin' orange pop in the seedy greek diner

Fairweather father

Fairweather father

Gets her back and gets up in the night

Loves her so much and holds the baby tight

Ain't that enough to make you cry

Ain't that enough to make you cry

Fairweather father

Fairweather father

Doesn't like to hear the baby cry

Doesn't like to know about the aches and pains

Of the day gone by

Of the day gone by
