Games That Daddies Play (1976)
He put his arms around her shoulder and with a voice that sounded older
He said mom I got something on my mind
I don'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 and need you
And I don't want you to take this the wrong way
But don't you think I'm old enough and big enough and strong enough
To play the games that daddies play

My friend Billy Parkers dad came by today to see me
And he wondered if I'd like to go
With him and Billy on a hike and maybe camp out over night
The way I've seen in picture shows
And there's one thing I'd like to do and maybe If I ask him to

He'd sit and talk with me man to man
We'd only be gone overnight and I could find out what its like
To play the games that daddies play

She quickly turn the hid the tears from her son of 7 years
He didn't know he read between the lines
He'd never really known his dad and although he'd never ask
She knew what was exactly on his mind
She searched her mind in desperation 6 long years of separation
Then the words she knew she had to say
I hope you're never big enough or old enough or bold enough to play
The games that daddies play
And I know you need and want his love But son your the victim of
Another kind-a game that daddies play
