To Daddy - Live

Mama never seemed to miss the finer things in life
 If she did, she never did say so to daddy
 She never wanted to be more than a mother and a wife
 If she did, she never did say so to daddy
 The only thing that seemed to be inportant in her life
 Was to make a house a home and to make us happy
 Mama never wanted anymore than what she had
 If she did, she never did say so to daddy
 He often left her alone, she didn't mind the stayin' home
 If she did, she never did say so to daddy
 And she never missed the flowers and the gives he never gave her
 If she did, she never did say so to daddy
 Being took for granted was a that thing she accepted
 And she didn't need those things to make her happy
 She didn't even seem to notice that he didn't kiss and hold her
 If she did, she never did say so to daddy
 One morning we awoke just to find a note
 Mama carefully wrote and left to daddy
 And as he began to read it out ears could not beleive it
 The words she had written there to daddy
 She said: "The kids are old enough, they don't need me very much
 I've gone in search for love I need so badly
 I have needed you so long, but I just can't keep holding on"
 She never meant to come back home if she did, she never did say so to daddy
 Mama's gone
 Good-bye to daddy
