lyrics

Dad, I think she wants to kiss me,
think she wants to kiss me tonight

My dad never had nothing good to say
about the women in his life
Between the acts of contrition and sins of omission
you could cut the silence with a knife

He said, “I can’t stand your mother—she drives me crazy.
Never home and she thinks I’m lazy.
She loves the church, she loves her sisters . . . man, I’d like to leave her, mister.”

Dad, I think she wants to kiss me,
I think she wants to kiss me tonight

I like the way she looks at me
I even like the way she holds my hand
We talk about so many things
Dad, I wish you could understand

Dad, I think she wants to kiss me,
I think she wants to kiss me tonight

When push came to shove, I guess there was love
At least that’s what their friends like to say
Your house is not a home, your home is a jail
Whatcha gonna do when you’re old and frail, good night
