Donna Lee Stokes - Daddy's Boy Lyrics

Daddy's boy's been waiting, waiting so patiently.
What time is daddy comin' mama?
Daddy comes at three.
Can I go with him mama, daddy said we could play.
I'm sorry baby, she said, no not today.

Daddy's boy's a sweetheart and he still bares daddy's name.
But daddy's boy is with mama, ain't it a cryin' shame.

Daddy's got a lady and she loves him more than life.
Spends the day with daddy and his baby, feelin' like a wife.
She tells him, you know, I could love him baby, love him like my own.
Bring your boy to live here with us, we'll make this house a home.

Daddy's boy's a sweetheart and he still bares daddy's name.
But daddy's boy is with mama, ain't it a cryin' shame.

Daddy's boy's asleep now, asleep on daddy's knee.
Hair all damp and curly from the tears that he can see.
All soft from daddy's eyes, you see there's just no way that he can keep his boy there with him.
Daddy's had his day. So now daddy has no baby because mama's had her way.

Daddy's boy's a sweetheart,
daddy's boy's a sweetheart,
daddy's boy's such a sweet,
sweet child and he still bares daddy's name.
But daddy's boy is with mama, ain't it a cryin' shame.

Daddy's boy's a sweetheart,
daddy's boy's a sweetheart,
daddy's boy's a sweetheart,
daddy's boy's a sweetheart
