Daddy...why??

U never ever take my side
cant let me win it hurts your pride
always arguing with me
daddy cant u just let me be

doesn't mean that i love u less
i know that u have tried your best
to raise me brother and sisters
but we are no longer youngsters

daddy cant u understand
i know that you are a good man
just see the life i have to live
give me the love u have to give

i know that u get mad at me
but daddy please try to see
that life has changed since u were young
the problems haven't just begun

my life daddy has been real hard
feeling u had no regards
to what i was feeling all those times
laid in my bed and cried cried cried

i know that u love brother more
u hug him when hes at the door
when i walk in u look at me
and act like u just didn't see

i wish that u were there for me
all those times then you would see
why i act the way i do
maybe then id connect with you...

its not that i love momma more
u should have just been there before
to tell me u loved me each day
instead of just walking away

its rare i hear those words from u
daughter sweetheart i love you
and those times u rarely do
my eyes fill with tears from you

but like i said i love u no less
i know that u have tried your best
you always had me financially
but love is all i really need
