SHE NEVER THOUGHT SHE'D END UP LIKE THIS

THREE KIDS AND NO HUSBAND TO KISS

BUT NOW SHE'S LEFT WONDERIN WHERE HE MIGHT BE NOW

STRUGGLIN FOR EVERY DOLLAR SHE MAKES

NO HELP FROM DADDY TODAY

GOT A PLACE RIGHT UP ABOVE THE BAR IN TOWN

KIDS CRYIN WITH HOLES IN THERE JEANS

SHE'S GOT IT HARD ENOUGH JUST PAYIN FOR HEAT

WHERE'D HE GO WHAT'S THE STORY WOULD IT EVEN MATTER

BABY GOT ,BABY GOT, BABY GOT , BABY GOT, BABY GOT, BABY GOT

WHAT HE NEEDS

BABY GOT ,BABY GOT, BABY GOT , BABY GOT, BABY GOT, BABY GOT

WHAT HE NEEDS

AND DADDY'S IN THE BAR TWO STATES AWAY

TRYIN TO FORGET WHAT HE DID THAT DAY

DROWN HIS SORROWS IN HIS DRINK, LIKE IT EVEN MATTERS

HE'S GOT HIS LITTLE WHORE TO SCRATCH HIS ITCH

TO TRY TO GIVE HIM WHAT HE'S NOT SURE HE'LL MISS

THE ARMS OF THE FAMILY THAT HE LEFT TO GET HER

BABY GOT ,BABY GOT, BABY GOT , BABY GOT, BABY GOT, BABY GOT

WHAT HE NEEDS

BABY GOT ,BABY GOT, BABY GOT , BABY GOT, BABY GOT, BABY GOT

WHAT HE NEEDS

AND HE HATES WHAT HE'S DONE BUT HE'S NOT GOIN HOME

HE'LL JUST HIDE IN A HOLE AND MAKE DAMNED SURE THAT HE'S STONED

STRUGGLIN THRU A YEAR SHE FOUND A REAL MAN

SOMEONE TO RAISE THE KIDS AND BE A REAL DAD

AND DADDY'S MEMORY SLOWLY FADED AWAY

MOVIN OUT TO A HOUSE ON A HILL

NOT LOOKIN BACK AND SHE NEVER WILL

SHE DIDN'T KNOW IT THEN BUT HE NEVER EVEN MATTERED

BABY GOT ,BABY GOT, BABY GOT , BABY GOT, BABY GOT, BABY GOT

WHAT HE NEEDS

BABY GOT ,BABY GOT, BABY GOT , BABY GOT, BABY GOT, BABY GOT

WHAT HE NEEDS

AND NOW SHE'S SURE THAT SHE'S GOT WHAT IT TAKES TO SURVIVE

AND SHE'S NOT SCARED OF THE LIFE THAT SHE'S GONNA PROVIDE

WHEN SHE PRAYS EVERY DAY SHE THANKS GOD DADDY'S GONE

WHY HE LEFT SHE DON'T KNOW, SHE DON'T CARE, WHAT WENT WRONG

WHEN DADDY GOT FED UP WITH HIS NEW LIFE

HE TRIED TO GET IN TOUCH WITH HIS OLD WIFE

HE MISSED HIS KIDS, HER OPEN ARMS, AND A PLACE TO CALL HOME

LOOKIN HARD HE FOUND HER IN THE HOUSE ON THE HILL

OPEN WINDOWS HE LOOKED IN WITH A CHILL

NEW DADDY MOMMY AND THE KIDS, TOLD HIM HE COULD STAY GONE

BABY GOT ,BABY GOT, BABY GOT , BABY GOT, BABY GOT, BABY GOT

WHAT HE NEEDS

BABY GOT ,BABY GOT, BABY GOT , BABY GOT, BABY GOT, BABY GOT

WHAT HE NEEDS

AND HE HATES WHAT HE'S DONE, AND NOW HE'LL NEVER GO HOME

BETTER HIDE IN A HOLE AND MAKE DAMNED SURE HE'S STONED

HE CAN DWELL ON IT NOW FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE

HOW HE SCREWED UP AND LOST THE BEST THING IN HIS LIFE
