I don't know if they were sons or daughters
I don't know if they had a cure for the world
I only know that I didn't want to see
I only know that I didn't want to be
The one
With all the responsibility
The one
With children at my feet
The one
With the happy family
Cause I didn't wanna be daddy
I don't know if they'd like bedtime stories
I don't know if they'd like playing in the park
I only know that I didn't want to see
I only know that I didn't want to be
The one
Working to provide
The one
With nothing left to hide
The one
Feeling so satisfied
Cause I didn't wanna be daddy
I don't know if they would have loved me
I don't know if they would have grown up right
I only know that I was too young to see
I only know that I was too young to be
The one
Like everybody else
The one
Like so many of my friends
The one
Whose job never ends
So I didn't wanna be daddy
