Momma never seemed to miss the finer things in life |
|
If she did, she never did say so to daddy |
|
She never wanted to be more than mother and a wife |
|
If she did, she never did say so to daddy |
|
The only things that seemed to be important in her life |
|
Was to make our house a home and make us happy |
|
Momma never wanted anymore than what she had |
|
If she did, she never did say so to daddy |
|
He often left her all alone |
|
She didn't mind the stayin' home |
|
If she did, she never did say so to daddy |
|
And she never missed the flowers |
|
And the gifts he never gave her |
|
If she did, she never did say so to daddy |
|
Being took for granted was a thing that she accepted |
|
And she didn't need those things to make her happy |
|
She didn't even seem to notice |
|
That he didn't kiss and hold her |
|
If she did, she never did say so to daddy |
|
Chorus: |
|
One morning we awoke |
|
Just to find the note |
|
That momma carefully wrote |
|
And left to daddy |
|
And as he began to read it |
|
Our ears could not believe it |
|
The words that she had written there to daddy |
|
She said our kids are old enough |
|
And they don't need me very much |
|
So i've gone in search for love i need so badly |
|
I have needed you so long |
|
But i just can't keep holdin' on |
|
She never meant to come back home |
|
If she did, she never did say so to daddy |
|
