Cal Smith - Games That Daddies Play Lyrics
He put his arms around her shoulderAnd with a voice that sounded olderHe said mom I got something on my mindNow I don't want to bother youBut I sure need to talk to youIf you could only spare a timeAnd mom, I hope you understandHow much I love and need youAnd I don't want you to take this the wrong wayBut don't you think I'm big enoughAnd old enough and strong enoughTo play the games that daddies playMy friend Billy Parker's dadCame by today to see meAnd he wondered if I'd like to goWith him and Billy on a hikeAnd maybe camp out overnightThe way I've seen 'em do in picture showsAnd there's one thing I want to doAnd maybe if I ask him toHe'd sit and talk to me man to manWe'd only be gone overnightAnd I could find out what is likeTo play the games that daddies playShe quickly turned to hide the tearsFrom her son of seven yearsHe didn't know she'd read between the linesHe'd never really known his dadAnd although he'd never askedShe knew exactly what was on his mindShe searched my mind in desperationSix long years of separationDimmed the words she knew I had to sayI hope you're never big enoughOr old enough or bold enoughTo play the games that daddies playI know you need and want his loveBut son, you're the victim of another kindOf game that daddies play
