The Games That Daddies Play (Re-Recorded)

He put his arms around her shoulder

And with a voice that sounded older

He said, "Mom, I've got something on my mind"I don't want to bother you

But I sure need to talk to you

If you can only spare the timeAnd mom, I hope you understand

How much I love and need you and

I don't want you to take this the wrong wayBut don't you think I'm old enough

And big enough and strong enough to play

The games that daddies playMy friend Billy Parker's dad

Came by today to see me and

He wondered if I'd like to goWith him and Billy on a hike

And maybe camp out overnight

The way I've seen them do in picture showsAnd there's one thing I'd like to do

And maybe if I asked him to

He'd sit and talk to me man to manWe'd only be gone overnight

And I could find out what it's like to play

The games that daddies playShe quickly turned to hide the tears

From her son of seven years

He didn't know she'd read between the linesHe'd never really known his dad

And although he'd never ask

She knew exactly what was on his mindShe searched her mind in desperation

Six long years of separation

Dimmed the words she knew she had to sayI hope you're never big enough

Or old enough or bold enough to play

The games that daddies playI know you need and want his love

But son, you're the victim of

Another kind of games that daddies play
