Dead Beat Dad

Excuse me sir, can we talk for awhile? Can we discuss the needs of both of our child? How is it that you can just walk away, From a baby we made, and I have to stay. It's funny you see, I don't understand, How you can leave your child and still be a man. How you can go out each night and meet new girls, And exclude your own child as part of your world. They think you're so charming with your looks and style, But would you still be so charming if this was their child? I couldn't keep you away from me Before we laid down as two and woke up as three. Look at his eyes and all his toes, He has your smile and button noes. So give him a chance it's not that bad, Because it's too much work being both mom and dad!
