Hey Daddy Lyrics

I remember when I was young, running joking laughing having fun.

Then something happened in my life, first time that I’d felt terrified.

Voices exploding in the night, that sound just stabbed me like a knife.

I heard the slamming of a door,

My life had changed for evermore.

1st CHORUS

Hey Daddy, please don’t leave us alone.

Hey Daddy, please not all on our own.

Hey Mamma, please stop crying,

My friends are saying things, I know they’re lying.

Hey Mamma, tell me what we’re gonna do

2nd VERSE

My life would never be the same, maybe it’s me that was to blame,

I grew up as fast as I could, not always doing what I should.

I started missing out in class, soon I was going nowhere fast.

Got in with guys I shouldn’t have done, I swear I’ve never seen that gun.

2nd CHORUS

Hey Daddy, whats the reason you’re not speaking

Hey Daddy, wont you tell me what you’re thinking

Hey Mamma, please stop crying

My friends are saying Ithings I know they’re lying

Hey Mamma, tell me what we’re gonna do

GUITAR

3rd VERSE

When I get out this prison cell, I need to think about myself.

I’m gonna pull my life around, get a job and then settle down.

My life has taught me to be strong, taught me to see why I went wrong.

You’ve got to love your fellow man, life’s about giving all you can.

3rd CHORUS

Hey Daddy, can’t we be a family again

Hey Daddy ,everybodies suffered enough pain

Hey Mamma, please stop crying,

My friends are saying things I know they’re lying,

Hey Mamma, tell me what we’re gonna do.

Hey Daddy, please stop crying, my friends are saying things I know they’re lying.

Hey Mamma, tell me what we’re gonna do.
