Conway Twitty - The Games That Daddies Play lyrics

rate me

He put his arm around her shoulder<br />

With a voice that sounded older<br />

He said, "Mom, I got something on my mind.<br />

I don't wanna bother you but<br />

I sure need to talk to you<br />

If you can only spare the time.<br />

And Mom I hope you understand<br />

How much I love and need you<br />

And I don't want you to take this the wrong way<br />

But don't you think I'm old enough<br />

And big enough and strong enough<br />

To play the games that Daddies play?"<br />

<br />

My friend Billy Parker's dad<br />

Came by today to see me<br />

And he wondered if I'd like to go<br />

With him and Billy on a hike<br />

And maybe camp out overnight<br />

The way I've seen 'em do in picture shows<br />

And there's one thing I'd like to do<br />

And maybe if I ask him to<br />

He'd sit and talk with me man to man<br />

We'd only be gone overnight<br />

And I could find out what it's like<br />

To play the games that Daddies play.<br />

<br />

She quickly turned to hide the tears<br />

From her son of seven years<br />

He didn't know she'd read between the lines<br />

He'd never really known his dad<br />

And although he'd never ask<br />

She knew exactly what was on his mind<br />

She searched her mind in desperation, <br />

Six long years of separation<br />

Dimmed the words she knew she had to say<br />

I hope you're never big enough<br />

Or old enough or bold enough<br />

To play the games that Daddies play.<br />

<br />

I know you need and want his love but, <br />

Son, you're the victim of<br />

Another kind of game that Daddies play...
