This Child Needs Its Father de Gladys Knight

This child needs its father
Come back home, joe
This child needs its father
Come back home,
We both need you, joe

People talk as i walk with the baby
But i still hold my head high
With a smile i disguise the pain i feel
But they still see it in my eyes

I'm trying to do the best i can
But i refuse to let this baby hold another man

This child needs its father
Come back home, joe
This child needs its father
Come back home,
We both need you, joe

I just cry when i try to forget you
And i'm searching for something to do
But the baby starts fussing, and i see his face
And you know, he is the picture of you

I put our lives in you hands, joe
Because the love wouldn't be the same with another man

He calls for daddy everyday
But you're not there
I am running out the things to say
How can i tell him you just don't care?

This child needs its father
Come back home, joe
This child needs its father
Come back home,
We both need you, joe
