Mama never seemed to miss the finer things of life |
|
If she did she never did say so to daddy |
|
She never wanted to be more than a mother and a wife |
|
If she did she never did say so to daddy |
|
The only thing that seemed to be important to her life |
|
Was to make our house a home and make us happy |
|
Mama never wanted any more than what she had |
|
If she did she never did say so to daddy |
|
He often left her all alone but she didn't mind the staying home |
|
If she did she never did say so to daddy |
|
And she never missed the flowers and the cards he never sent 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 |
|
And she didn't seem to notice that he didn't kiss and hold her |
|
If she did she never did say so to daddy |
|
One morning we awoke just to find a note |
|
That mama carefully wrote and left to daddy |
|
And as we began to read it |
|
Our ears could not believe it |
|
The words that she had written there to daddy |
|
She said the kids are older now they don't need me very much |
|
And i've gone in search of love i need so badly |
|
I have needed you so long but i just can't keep holding on |
|
She never meant to come back home |
|
If she did she never did say so to daddy |
|
Goodbye to daddy |
