Don't wanna be another deadbeat Dad But I've got all the attributes to make her sad Will she ever see that side? I'll try to keep it hid If I should ignore her tears, only for a minute Don't wanna be the reason she's not great Will I be held responsible for a reprobate? Maybe she could hurt someone in a hit and run? Definitely she'll lie to her father when her homework's not done I'll try to make her laugh when she's in the bath If it's all that I can do If I drink too much wine, will she be that way inclined Or will she be just fine Don't wanna be another deadbeat Dad But I've been trusted with the hardest job I've had Will she ever see that side? I'll try to keep it in If I let her watch bad TV, or don't make her go to bed Don't wanna be another deadbeat Dad
