[Verse 1]
Daddy, why you still smokin' those cigarettes?
Thought I heard you promise momma that you'd quit
And what's so good that's in that bottle, you can't put it down?
Why do all the monsters come 'round every time you go out?
[Chorus]
I can't look her in the eye
When I tell her daddies don't lie
She's the only girl that's never given up on me
How am I supposed to come clean
After everything she's seen?
What do I do? What do I say?
When she starts askin' questions some day
[Verse 2]
Daddy, if you love Jesus, why you cuss his name?
If you miss me so much, why you come home late?
Will my tattoo on your arm ever wash away?
When I grow up, can I be just like you some day?
[Chorus]
I can't look her in the eye
When I tell her daddies don't lie
She's the only girl that's never given up on me
How am I supposed to come clean
After everything she's seen
What do I do? What do I say?
When she starts askin' questions some day
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
She don't know I'm barely holdin' it together
But startin' tomorrow I'm gonna try to do a little better
[Chorus]
I can't look her in the eye
When I tell her daddies don't lie
She's the only girl that's never given up on me
How am I supposed to come clean
After everything she's seen
What do I do? What do I say?
When she starts askin' questions some day
