The Games That Daddies Play
He put his arms around her shoulder
And with a voice that sounded older
He said mom Iâ€™ve got something on my mind
I donâ€™t want to bother you
But I sure need to talk to you
If you could only spare the time
And mom I hope you understand
How much I love and need you and
I donâ€™t want you to take this the wrong way
But donâ€™t you think Iâ€™m old enough
And big enough and strong enough to play
The games that daddies play
My friend Billy Parkerâ€™s dad
Came by today to see me and
He wondered if Iâ€™d like to go
With him and Billy on a hike
And maybe camp out overnight
The way Iâ€™ve seen them do in picture shows
And thereâ€™s one thing Iâ€™d like to do
And maybe if I asked him to
Heâ€™s sit and talk to me man to man
Weâ€™d only be gone overnight
And I could find out what itâ€™s like to play
The games that daddies play
She quickly turned to hide the tears
From her son of seven years
He didnâ€™t know sheâ€™d read between the lines
Heâ€™d never really known his dad
And although heâ€™d never ask
She knew exactly what was on his mind
She searched her mind in desperation
Six long years of separation
Dimmed the words she knew she had to say
I hope youâ€™re never big enough
Or old enough or bold enough to play
The games that daddies play
I know you need and want his love
But son, youâ€™re the victim of
Another kind of games that daddies play
