In our neighborhood, The kids have been out playing.
Little Johnny's clothes were torn when he came home.
I over heard these words he kept saying.
They'd better leave my daddy alone.

She kissed away the tears, to console him.
As I fought to hide my own.
I held back.
And the more he cried the closer she would hold him.
And I broke down with these questions that he asked.

Does steppin' out mean daddy went out walking?
Does cheating mean my daddy don't play right?
Does gossip mean they're lying while they're talking?
Does two timing mean that daddy stepped out twice?

Momma, Don't my daddy stay out late 'cause he's workin'?
I can't understand this kind of talk.
Does ladies man mean daddys a sissy?
Mom, Don't steppin' out mean daddy took a walk?

Does steppin' out mean daddy went out walking?
I just can't understand this kind of talk.
Don't my daddy stay out late 'cause he's workin'?
Mom, Don't steppin' out mean daddy took a walk?
