He Didn&#39;t Have To Be

When a single mom goes out

on a date with

somebody new

It always winds up feelin&#39;
more like ajob interview
My momma used to wonder

if she&#39;d ever meet someone

Who wouldn&#39;t

find out about me

and then turn around

and run

lmet the man

I call my dad

When I was five years old

loverheard him pop
the question

And I prayed

that she&#39;d say yes

How we went

from somethin&#39;s missin&#39;

to a family

Lookin&#39; back

all I can say about

all the things

he did for me

ls I hope I&#39;m at least

half the dad

he did for me

ls I hope I&#39;m at least

half the dad
that he didn&#39;t have to be

lmet the girl

that&#39;s now my wife

About three years ago

We had

the perfect marriage

But we wanted

something more

Crowded &#39;round

the nursery window

as they bring the baby in

And now all of a sudden

Oh it seems

so strange to me

How we&#39;ve gone

from somethin&#39;s missin&#39;

to a family

Lookin&#39; through

the glass I think about
the man that&#39;s standin&#39;

next to me

And I hope I&#39;m at least

halfthe dad

next to me

And I hope I&#39;m at least

half the dad
that he didn&#39;t have to be

And lookin&#39; back

all I can say about

all the things

he did for me

ls I hope I&#39;m at least

half the dad

he did for me

ls I hope I&#39;m at least

half the dad
that he didn&#39;t have to be

Yeah I hope I&#39;m at least

half the dad
that he didn&#39;t have to be

Because he didn&#39;t

have to be

You know he didn&#39;t

have to be
