Didn't Wanna Be Daddy

Jeffrey Gaines · Other Songs - Jeffrey Gaines

I don't know if they were sons or daughters

I don't know if they had a cure for the world

I only know that I didn't want to see

I only know that I didn't want to be

The one

With all the responsibility

The one

With children at my feet

The one

With the happy family

Cause I didn't wanna be daddy

I don't know if they'd like bedtime stories

I don't know if they'd like playing in the park

I only know that I didn't want to see

I only know that I didn't want to be

The one

Working to provide

The one

With nothing left to hide

The one

Feeling so satisfied

Cause I didn't wanna be daddy

I don't know if they would have loved me

I don't know if they would have grown up right

I only know that I was too young to see

I only know that I was too young to be

The one

Like everybody else

The one

Like so many of my friends

The one

Whose job never ends

So I didn't wanna be daddy
