Don't Call Me Daddy

If it hadn't been for the rain
I wouldn’t have walked in that door
I asked you if had the time of day
You asked me for a little more

The air was cold and the sun was down
People running everywhere
When I left you wanted to come along
I made the mistake and told you - I don’t care

I can't finance your life
And you know I ain't looking for a wife
You're beautiful and that’s apparent
Acting like you really might care

That’s all just fine but please
Don’t call me Daddy

New dress, new shoes, most would agree
You couldn’t look much finer than that
A compliment later, you ask a favor of me
You want me to buy you a purse and a hat

I saw you at the table in my favorite café
Sitting with another man
He rose to get the car like gentleman do
You waived and asked me to loan you a ten.

I can't finance your life
And you know I ain't looking for a wife
You're showing up all the time
Its true your staying on my mind
Baby - please don’t cry
And don't call me Daddy

A month ago we were still having fun
Looking forward to that evening fare
Now when I hear the telephone ring
I don’t pick it up 'cause I just don’t care.

I can't finance your life
You know I ain't looking for a wife
Things between us have really changed
You're acting so very strange
You've gotta good job so please
Don’t call me Daddy
