My daddy's temperamental.
You have to watch his mood.
I have to be careful,
So he doesn't think I'm rude.
Maybe he'll be happy,
And he'll want to play.
I really wish today,
He had a real good day.
Sometimes I'm bad,
And he starts to hit.
I don't know what I did,
Or how to stop it.
My daddy's really scary.
I can't tell how he'll feel.
I really hope today,
He'll give me a meal.
I'm really sorry, Daddy,
When you think I'm bad.
I really don't want to,
Make you at all mad.
Please, Daddy, teach me,
Everything I should.
I only want you to think,
That I'm being good.
