He put his arms around her shoulder
And with a voice that sounded older
He said mom I got something on my mind
Now I don't want to bother you
But I sure need to talk to you
If you could only spare a time
And mom, I hope you understand
How much I love and need you
And I don't want you to take this the wrong way
But don't you think I'm big enough
And old enough and strong enough
To play the games that daddies play
My friend Billy Parker's dad
Came by today to see me
And he wondered if I'd like to go
With him and Billy on a hike
And maybe camp out overnight
The way I've seen 'em do in picture shows
And there's one thing I want to do
And maybe if I ask him to
He'd sit and talk to me man to man
We'd only be gone overnight
And I could find out what is like
To play the games that daddies play
She quickly turned to hide the tears
From her son of seven years
He didn't know she'd read between the lines
He'd never really known his dad
And although he'd never asked
She knew exactly what was on his mind
She searched my mind in desperation
Six long years of separation
Dimmed the words she knew I had to say
I hope you're never big enough
Or old enough or bold enough
To play the games that daddies play
I know you need and want his love
But son, you're the victim of another kind
Of game that daddies play
