Montell Jordan - Daddy's Home Lyrics

Daddy's home
Do da da da
La da la
Play it, play it

I know, I'm not the man you thought I'd be
We started out so young, your mother, and me
I know that I hurt you, I was a child trying to be a man
I walked out on my only son, I left you in your mother's hands

And now I'm standing right here
With tears, with tears streaming from my eyes
See your mother raised a fine young man
And I know I missed so much of your life

Look at me, take a real good look at me
Don't turn away, don't you turn away like I did my son
I'm making no more promises
I'm trying to find the word to say

Daddy's home
(Yeah)
Daddy's home
(Been gone too long)
Daddy's home
(Said your daddy's back home)
Daddy's home
(And for every birthday that I missed my son)

Daddy's home
(I'm making it all up to you)
Daddy's home
(Every time I made your mother cry)
Daddy's home
(She laid awake at night, holding her pillow tight)
Daddy's home
(Oh oh)

Do you remember the day I walked out on you?
There was nothing I could say, nothing you could do
I missed your first words, I couldn't hear you talk
I missed your first steps, when you tried to walk, baby

Now I know and you know you can take care of yourself
(Daddy's home)
(Daddy's home)
You had to run, you had to run to somebody else
(Daddy's home)
Didn't be a good father, I wasn't there
But talk to me son, tell me how you feel
(Daddy's home)

Daddy why would you leave your only son
(I don't know)
Give me somethin', I could hold on
(No no no)
You left me here alone
(Alone)
Now you've decided to come back home

(Daddy's home)
And I realize
(Daddy's home)
That's it's gonna take a little time for you and me to get again
(Daddy's home)
I think we can do it, I think we can do it
Do you think we can do it? I think we can do it

If you wanna be my dad again
We've got to start all over, be friends
If you wanna be my dad again
We've got to start all over, be friends

If you wanna be my dad again
We've got to start all over, be friends
If you wanna be my dad again
We've got to start all over, be friends

Just look at me
Look at me
