Fillin' A Daddy's Shoes

You were always like a daddy to me,
but at 14 and 18 how could that be?
Although I always called you my boyfriend,
you were fillin' a daddy's shoes.

A place where a daddy really should've been,
but for some reason couldn't begin,
to fill the shoes that he should've been wearin',
you were fillin' a daddy's shoes,
yeah, fillin' a daddy's shoes.

With nothin' to gain and your youth to lose
takin' care of my needs through bad and through good.
I know you would've done more if you could,
Fillin' a daddy's shoes, yeah, fillin' a daddy's shoes.

I often wonder what happened to you,
did you find a special someone whose good to you?
Hope it's someone that you don't have to
be fillin' their daddy's shoes.

Tried hard as you might to take his place,
and I thank you with all that I can embrace,
but those shoes never really could be replaced,
fillin' a daddy's shoes, yeah, fillin' a daddy's shoes.

Interesting lyrics. The only poetry that is really given much consideration these days is in the form of lyrics, backed by music. Nice work!
