Where were U daddy when I came out of the womb
When mother almost died
Where were U when doctors said I wouldn't make it
When mom and the family cried
Where were U daddy when I took my 1st step
When I said my 1st word, happy
Where were U When puberty started
When the explanation came from granddaddy
Where were U when I caused problems as a kid
When mom wanted 2 say... go tell your daddy what U did
Where were U when I needed a friend
When I needed someone 2 talk 2
Where were U daddy when life got hard
When doors were hard 2 open, harder 2 walk through
Where were U when I was sick
When I couldn't get out of bed
Where were U daddy when the bad dreams came
When I couldn't get them out of my head
Where were U when I fell down
When my knees were scarred and bruised
I'm not angry I just need 2 know
Daddy where were U
Where were U daddy when I started school
When the bad grades came home
Where were U when mom took ill
When she still raised me on her own
Where were U ady when mom got a boyfriend
When I didn't handle it so well
Where were U when he whipped me
When the licks hurt like hell
Where were U daddy when I started dating
When I met my 1stgirl
Where were U as I was growing up
When I had to face the world
Where were U daddy when....
Never mind I just wanna know
Where were U then
I'm not a boy, I'm not a man
Have a life U had no part of
You're my daddy and U always will be
But the man that raised me is my father
