Tammy Wynette
"Joey" lyrics

Joey

Outside the sun is shining
It's such a pretty day
I'm waiting in the shadows
Watching you and Joey play

Right now I feel like dying
Cause I heard Joey say
"All the other kids I know
Have daddies everyday"

"Oh, daddy, please ask mommy
Could you come home to stay?
Me and mommy need you
I love you anyway
All the other kids I know
Have daddies everyday"

Honey, I've been thinking
Our little Joey's right
He doesn't understand
Our little childish grownup fights

You're just his Sunday daddy
Could you come home to stay?
Cause all the other kids he knows
Have daddies everyday

"Oh, daddy, please ask mommy
Could you come home to stay?
Me and mommy need you
I love you anyway
All the other kids I know
Have daddies everyday"
