Daddy??
Daddy won't you come play with me?
Daddy am I not important enough today?
Daddy why do you sit there all day?
Why do you not listen to anything I have to say?
I asked once you never heard
I asked twice
and it was like you threw it back in my face
If I ask three times your anger got in the way
So I figured I'd have no daddy for today
I'm crying right now daddy come be near me
But somehow the screen you're in front of
Just seems to overshadow my being
I'm trying to get your attention
but do you even care?
I don't think so
I don't even think you noticed I was there
I stood in the door way
Nothing penetrated those ears
You may help financially
But you're nothing from encouraging
I just need a daddy to help me get through
But are you my daddy for today?
Or are you just another man passing on through?
Can I even call you daddy I'm just wondering
Because it seems like you're never there
Never there to attend a school concert
It's either I have a headache or tomorrow son
But will I have a daddy when tomorrow comes?
I'm just trying to figure this out
Wondering how a daddy can act like this
Man I am so curious
But I won't bother you cuz you always get furious
Only time I get some attention
is when I mention about my stupid finances
Is that all I am to you?
I'm not going to get your attention by becoming rich
Because if thats all I am to you
Then it's good day to you
Now how about tossing the ball around?
Wait a minute, you're not even around
I can't see where a father figure is
I'm looking else where
Because I just want to be picked
I want someone to encourage me
But I am not finding it here
I'm thankful for my daddy that lives just down the street
At least he comes and encourages me
At least he knows my birthday
and at least he knows more about me
I'm getting the support I need else where
Because daddy you were never ever there
