Lyrics Games That Daddy's Play(Conway Twitty)
He put his arms around my shoulder with a voice that sounded older He said mom I've got something on my mind Now I don't want to bother you but I sure need to talk to you If you could only spare a little time.
And mom I hope you undretsand how much I love and need you I don't want to take this the wrong way But don't you think I'm big enough and old enough and strong enough To play the games that daddys play.
My friend Billy Parker's dad come by today to see me And he wondered if I would like to go With him and Billy on a hike and maybe camp out overnight The way I've seen 'em do in picture shows.
And there's one thing I want to do and maybe if I ask him to He'd sit and talk to me man to man We'd only be gone overnight and I could find out it's like To play the games that daddys play.
I quickly turned to hide the tears from my son of seven years He didn't know I'd read between the lines He'd never really known his dad and although he'd never asked I knew exactly what was on his mind.
I searched my mind in desperation six long years of seperation Dimmed the words I knew I had to say I hope you're never big enough or old enough or bold enough To play the games that daddys play.
I know you need and want his love but son you're the victim of Another kind of game that daddys play... |
