Mommy Can I Still Call Him Daddy

(Dottie West - Bill West)



Come here my precious little boy,

Mommy loves you so

We've got big things to talk about,

Some things you have to know.



And though you're only four years old

I know you understand

That from now on you've got to be

Mommy's little man.



Your daddy left for good today

But we'll make it just the same

And pretty soon we'll both forget

We even wear his name.



(Please mommy can I still call him daddy

I know he's treated us so bad

Please mommy can I still call him daddy

For he's the only daddy I ever had?)



Now sweetheart you must forget

'Cause he doesn't love you like before

But knowin' that he doesn't care

Just makes mommy love you more.



So come on now and lets be big and strong

And please, please don't cry

'Cause he doesn't deserve your tears

'Cause when he left he didn't even tell you goodbye.



(Please mommy can I still call him daddy

I know he's treated us so bad

Please mommy can I still call him daddy

For he's the only daddy I ever had?...)
