Daddy's tired
He's got morphine dripping
[...] far away
Daddy's wasted,
Don't know what he's tasted
He's just got his TV and his hospital tray.
And I got what I want right here on my shoulder,
Boots made of leather [...]
Daddy tells me
That he really loves me
He says in my 20's all I had was fun.
And now my boyfriend's coming
And he's going to look
But he doesn't hear
What's in the words I say
Every day he seems to bring me flowers.
He knows, now I'm thinking about going away.
And I got what I want right here on my shoulder
Boots made of leather [...]
I think I'll stay and put up with the flowers
In my 20's all I had was fun.
They don't know me.
Baby's crying,
He don't like his granny's handout
Like his granny's,
But it's all for free.
Then he'll diss me,
He won't wanna kiss me.
He don't like his granny,
She's a control-freak.
And it doesn't make much sense to him
And it doesn't make much sense to me.
Mommy loves you,
And I got to go now,
Cause I've got to work
So we can live in peace.
Mommy loves you,
And I've got to go now,
Cause I've got to work
So we can live in peace.
