Yeah, I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now But hey, put that earwax tight, straighten up a little sofa Stiffen up that upper lip, check behind the bar You got me Haley, I know you miss your mom, and I know you miss your dad Well, I'm gone, but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had I can see your sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you wanna cry But you're scared, right there, daddy's with you when you press Don't cry, I'm right in taste, daddy's saying, oh no, I miss We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it Lady, I was crazy, ain't he? Yeah, but he loves you, girl, and you better know it Well, we got in this world, when it spins, when it swirls When it flows, when it dwells Two little beautiful girls, looking puzzled in a daze I know it's confusing you, daddy's always on the move Mama's always on the news, I try to keep yourself to tell it But somehow it seems the harder that I try to do That the more it backfires on me, all the things Ruined up as daddy, daddy had to see Daddy don't want you to see, but you see just as much as he did We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me But things have gone so bad between us, I don't see us ever being together ever again Like we used to be when we was teenagers But then of course, every weekday always had us for a reason I guess it was never meant to be But this is something we have no control over And that's what destiny is When all the world we supposed to have and go to sleep Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream Now, what's the great detail? She'll cry if it means that I'll be alright It's different than before they finally did it I told ya, daddy said I'll hold ya Through the night, I know I'm inside You're right now, let me tell now why We feel how we feel inside Can they seem a little crazy? Funny, baby But I promise, promise we'll be alright It's funny, I remember that one year when daddy had no money Mommy bought the Christmas presents up and stuck them under that tree And said, sign my mom or tell me, cause daddy couldn't buy them I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying Cause daddy felt like a bomb See, daddy had a job, but his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom And at the time, every house that we lived in either kept getting broken into or bombed It shot up on the clock and your mom was saving money for you in a jar Trying to start a peace And the piggy bank we used to keep when we'd go to college almost had a thousand dollars Till someone broke it and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it broke your mama's heart And it seemed like everything was just starting to fall apart Mom and dad was talking when I lied So mama moved back on the Thomas and we'd fly One bedroom apartment and dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Obama And that's when daddy went to California for the CD And met Dr. Triton, flew you and mama out to see me But daddy had to run, you and mama had to leave me Then you started seeing daddy on the TV And mama didn't like it And you weren't ready, but too young to understand it Papa was a rolling stone, mama developed a habit Ain't it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it But sad cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud Now I'm sitting in this empty house Just reminiscing, looking at your baby pictures It just trips me up to see how much you've helped and told your souls like your sisters Now, wow, guess you're pretty much out And daddy's still here, lately I've talked that to you too Daddy's still here, I like the sound of that chair Let's get a drink to it, don't we? Shh, mama's only gone for the moment now First little baby told me she'll cry Everything's gonna be alright Stiff the night I wasn't, but still need it I told ya, daddy said I'll hold ya Through the night, I know mommy's not here Right now, mommy don't know why We feel how we feel inside And they seem a little crazy Pretty vivid, but I promise, mama's gonna be alright And if you ask me too, daddy's gonna cry Though I'm mocking her I'm a good girl to her I'ma buy a diamond ring for you I'ma slay for you I'll do anything for you to sleep smart And if I'm mocking her, don't sing In the rain, don't shout I'ma break that body's neck I'll go back to the jewel, I'll sold it to ya And make a meet every care Until we're dead
