You Don'T Deserve Them

You don't deserve the smiles
Or the I love you's at night
You don't deserve the laughs 
Or the wines when the sun's to bright

You don't deserve the kisses
Or the tears of a skinned knee
You just don't deserve them
All they need is ME

You don't deserve the stories
Or pictures that you take
You don't deserve the misses
of the little hearts you break

A little time with daddy 
that is all they ask
I am trying to be a good mommy
But your making it a hard task

I won't keep them from you
But if I had my way
Never again would you see them
Now or any day

But you are their father
A doner we'll just say
And time to them is presious
Their the ones that pay

Grow up little boy
Put their hearts in your head
If you didn't want to be a dad
You shouldn't have slept in my bed!
