Lyrics

Daddies Need Huggin?
By
Ron Parks © 2007

It?s not easy being head of the family no sir-ree,
There are times when every body in the house is mad at me
Momma?s not speaking to me, because I fussed at her about a bill she made
Junior?s mad because he?s on lock down for an unsatisfactory grade
And daddy?s girl is all upset
Because I ran off that little punk boy friend of hers
And he ain?t stop running yet

(pre-chorus)
I?m just trying to keep the problems down
To keep everybody here safe and sound
And it ain?t easy

(chorus)
Daddies need huggin? (adlib) I wish someone would say,
Daddies need huggin? Daddy we appreciate all that you do for us
Daddies need huggin? (chuckle) Now that?s not going to happen
Daddies need huggin?

When tough times come along
I can?t falter; I?ve got to be strong
Cause everybody?s looking to me
To control our destiny
I don?t always know what to do
But some how I have to find the answer to pull us through

(pre-chorus)
I?m just trying to do the best I can
Sometimes I have to be super man
And it ain?t easy y?all

Daddies need huggin?
Sometimes I feel all alone Daddies need huggin?
Daddies need huggin?
Daddies need huggin?

(bridge)
Even though the job is tough
And sometimes the road is rough
I wouldn?t trade it for the world
Because I love my wife and baby boy and girl

When the drama passes and we?re laughing again
We become tight as corn on the cob and I feel the love well up from within
I know I have everybody?s love
I just wish someone would come give me a hug
I hate to admit it but

But I?ve got to do what I have got to do Daddies need huggin?
I miss those days when they?d run up and give me a hug Daddies need huggin?
Daddies need huggin?
