There's a girl, crying again
Lost, confused, no real friends
She pushes away, she's hurt so bad
She wishes she could find her dad
He left.3 months ago.
'business trip' is what she was told
Then she found her mother, crying
She drunkenly said 'I'm fed up with his lying'
Now 'gang banger' means her brother
She don't see her own mother
She's tryin to stay clean
She screams 'Someone love me'
Where'd the daddies go?
Boys lay around, play around
Couln't a man show his kids
How to stick around?
Where'd the daddies go?
What happened to whole families?
Why can't we go back to dreams?
What happened to the daddies?
There he is, knife in hand
No one seems to understand
His mom is cluless to his thirst
For someone to help with his hurt
He never met his real daddy
Had 3 step dads who treated him badly
He doesn't know what to say to his mother
He's not even sure he still loves her
He wears eyeliner, wears girl pants
Plays guitar, listens to rock bands
His hair hides his eyes that hurt from crying
He doesn't want attention.... he just wants his daddy
Where'd the daddies go?
Boys lay around, play around
Couln't a man show his kids
How to stick around?
Where'd the daddies go?
What happened to whole families?
Why can't we go back to dreams?
What happened to the daddies?
