Paid first and last month's rent, i don't know why i even carried in this old bed of mines
It's not like i ever sleep
All i do is think of her, and wonder how i'm gonna make things work

Cause i know as a dad i got a lot of responsibility
Even tho god gave this gift to the both of us
Some how every other weekend is how it ended up


(chorus)
When the telephone rings, i drop everything

Cause when all u got is that 8 o'clock, nite nite dad i miss you a lot
I stop in my tracks, i try to act strong when she calls
And i thank god she can't hear tears... when they fall


Now it's her dr. seuss and me and she's learning how to read
And i can't see those pictures, but i can hear those pages turn

And her mother says it bath time, as she blows a kiss through the line
I don't kno what's worse saying goodbye, or talking to her
Cause i'm the one that should be there tucking her in the bed

But since her voice is all i have i'm thankful for what i get

(repeat chorus)


If she knew i was crying she might think it's her fault, oh but that's just me missing her
Every time we talk... every time we talk


(repeat chorus)
