When night is creepin
And I should be sleepin' in bed
If you were peepin
You'd find that I'm weepin' instead
My lovin' daddy left his baby again
Said he'd come back but he forgot to say when
Night after night, I'm cryin
Daddy, won't you please come home?
Daddy, won't you please come home?
I'm so lonesome
No one can fill that vacant chair
Home isn't home when you're not there
No need to knock, the door is open for you
Please, daddy
Even the clock keeps tickin
Daddy, won't you please come home?
Daddy, do you have to roam so very long?
There's lots of other new sheiks who would like to be sheikin
Haven't slipped yet, but I'm liable to weaken
Daddy, daddy, won't you please come home?
Please, daddy
Even the clock keeps tickin
Daddy won't you please come home?
Daddy do you have to roam so very long?
There's lots of other new sheiks who would like to be sheikin
Haven't slipped yet, but I'm liable to weaken
Daddy, daddy, won't you please come home?
