So don't be mad

Be nice to your daddy

He's just an old fool

Who stayed out too late

I know you wanna hate me

And I can't say I blame you

If I were in your shoes

I would feel the same way

So good morning to you

I don't wanna lose you

Just give me a moment

To present my case

[Don't be]

Don't be mad

Be nice to your daddy

He's just an old fool

Who stayed out too late

I'm not that smart or clever

To trick you now or ever

All I got is the truth

And a guilty face

And that face ain't getting prettier

You just keep getting nearer

Come on, baby

Please, give me a smile

Don't be mad

I said, be nice to your daddy

He's just an old fool

Who stayed out too late

And that face ain't getting prettier

You just keep getting nearer

Come on, baby

Please, give me a smile

Don't be mad

Be nice to your daddy

He's just an old fool

Who stayed out too late

He's just an old fool

Who stayed out too late

He's just an old fool

Who stayed out too late
