[Chorus]
Why don't my mommy stay with my daddy and me?
Why does my daddy cry when I ask where can you be?
Why don't you come home? Then we won't be alone
Why don't my mommy stay with my daddy and me?
[Verse]
Each night, he's so lonesome 'cause he don’t understand
That you'd rather be dancing to a honky-tonk band
I don't know what to tell him when he climbs upon my knee
And ask, "Why don't my mommy stay with my daddy and me?"
[Chorus]
Why don't my mommy stay with my daddy and me?
Why does my daddy cry when I ask where can you be?
Why don't you come home then we won’t be alone?
Why don't my mommy stay with my daddy and me?
