Well it started one cold winter's day
Mama's best friend walked in and had to say
Found my daddy in the tub with the nanny no less
Lord what a mess oh what a mess
Don't do what Daddy did don't live that lie
Cheatin' and deceitin' will make you cry
Family ties all torn apart
Leavin' behind a broken heart
Don't do what Daddy did oh don't you try
Or you'll live a life full of regret and sighs
Grandma called when she found out he was to blame
His own cousin carried his name in shame
Drama unfolded secrets and fights
Pain in the day and tears in the night
Don't do what Daddy did don't live that lie
Cheatin' and deceitin' will make you cry
Family ties all torn apart
Leavin' behind a broken heart
Don't do what Daddy did oh don't you try
Or you'll live a life full of regret and sighs
Every woman felt the sting of his hand
An abusive man couldn't understand
His love was a curse his heart made of stone
Mama taught us better we won't be alone
Don't do what Daddy did don't live that lie
Cheatin' and deceitin' will make you cry
Family ties all torn apart
Leavin' behind a broken heart
Don't do what Daddy did oh don't you try
Or you'll live a life full of regret and sighs
So take this tale and heed it well
A family torn is a living hell
Love with honor be true and kind
Leave that cheatin' life behind
Don't do what Daddy did let your heart shine
And you'll find peace at the end of the line
