Dottie West - Mommy, Can I Still Call Him Daddy lyrics

Come here my precious little boy
Mommy loves you so
We've got big things to talk about
Some things you have to know.

And though you're only four years old
I know you understand
That from now on you've got to be
Mommy's little man.

Your daddy left for good today
But we'll make it just the same
And pretty soon we'll both forget
We even wear his name.

(Please mommy can I still call him daddy
I know he's treated us so bad
Please mommy can I still call him daddy
For he's the only daddy I ever had?)

Now sweetheart you must forget
'Cause he doesn't love you like before
But knowin' that he doesn't care
Just makes mommy love you more.

So come on now and lets be big and strong
And please, please don't cry
'Cause he doesn't deserve your tears
'Cause when he left he didn't even say to you goodbye.

(Please mommy can I still call him daddy
I know he's treated us so bad
Please mommy can I still call him daddy
For he's the only daddy I ever had?...)
