Hello Dad - Melissa Ferrick

Hello daddy

Are you drunk again

I’ve been waiting on the back porch

Waiting to come in

N’good evening daddy

You are asleep again

Lying on the T.V. couch

With you eyes hid under

Your rim

But you know that you can’t

You can’t fool me I know that you still love me

N’I know that it ain’t all of your fault

You’re just a strong headed man

With a brittle-weak-heart

N’you’re waiting, yes you are waiting

For your daddy

'Cause he’s going to come and he’s going to Tear you apart

But why can’t you hold me Like the other the other daddies do And why can’t you love me Like I was a part of you

Good-bye daddy

Guess that I’ll be seeing you around

Because I am old enough to understand

But still too young … I am just too young … I am still too young

To know how

Hello daddy

Are you drunk again

I’ve been waiting on the back porch

Waiting on the back porch

I am still waiting on the back porch

To come in
