Lyrics
[PreChorus]
Well, Daddy's come around
To Mama's way of thinkin'
No more stayin' out
All night drinkin'
[Chorus]
Well, everything's better
On the home front now
They're meetin' in the middle
Workin' it out
He finally figured out he's got
Somethin' worth keepin'
Yeah, now Daddy's come around
To Mama's way of thinkin'
[Verse 1]
Now, Daddy used to go out
Every night with his friends
And Mama stayed home
Takin' care of the kids
Daddy didn't mind
The way it was arranged
To his way of thinkin'
It didn't seem strange
[Verse 2]
Then one night
Mama met him at the door
'Cause the key in his hand
Didn't work anymore
Mama said, "More than
The locks have changed
There's a new set of rules
To this old game"
[PreChorus]
Yeah, now Daddy's come around
To Mama's way of thinkin'
No more stayin' out
All night drinkin'
[Chorus]
Well, everything's better
On the home front now
They're meetin' in the middle
Workin' it out
He finally figured out he's got
Somethin' worth keepin'
Yeah, now Daddy's come around
To Mama's way of thinkin'
[Verse 3]
Now, it's been some time
Since she laid down the law
But Daddy don't seem
To mind at all
He comes straight home
When the work day's through
He's even done the dishes
A time or two
[Verse 4]
Late last night
When the lights were low
Daddy told Mama
"I love you so"
Early this mornin'
Mama said to him
"You just might get
To be a daddy again"
[PreChorus]
Yeah, Daddy's come around
To Mama's way of thinkin'
No more stayin' out
All night drinkin'
[Chorus]
Well, everything's better
On the home front now
They're meetin' in the middle
Workin' it out
He finally figured out he's got
Somethin' worth keepin'
Yeah, now Daddy's come around
To Mama's way of thinkin'
[Chorus]
Well, everything's better
On the home front now
They're meetin' in the middle
Workin' it out
He finally figured out he's got
Somethin' worth keepin'
Yeah, now Daddy's come around
To Mama's way of thinkin'
[Chorus]
Yeah, Daddy's come around
To Mama's way of thinkin'
Yeah, Daddy's come around
To Mama's way of thinkin'
