Mommy?
Where's daddy?
He's been gone for so long.
Is he ever coming home?

Daddy was gone for 15 years
He could have been gone-
He should have been gone-
He he needs to be gone for more
Yet he popped up wishing that
I welcomed him with open arms.

Not once did he call to say
He was coming home
He cast me aside
Like I did my play things
Making me a broken doll.

Sure, all the little children
Liked to make me cry
Fathers day was never easy
Now you can see why

He called a few times as I grew
Left me wondering how I got a dead beat
When my brothers and sisters
We're able to have that connection
With their fathers
something that i never knew

Little girls, little girls need their fathers,
To show them a good guy from a bad
Too bad mine was the bad
Maybe that's why I act like this.

Looking for love in all the wrong places,
I have no self-worth.
To bad that sperm donor never saw
That he only made it worse

I act like it doesn't affect me,
But I'm always stuck in the body of that five year old
Wishing for daddy to come home.
It sucks now im older, and daddy should have stayed gone.
