Fairweather Father Lyrics
(Carly Simon)Fairweather fatherFairweather fatherDoesn't like to hear the baby cryDoesn't like to about the aches and painsOf the day gone byOf the day gone byBut the mother advertised as a bargain wifeShe'd make things easy for the rest of his lifeAnd to make herself more appealingShe'd think only of him and forget her own feelingsFairweather fatherFairweather fatherWants his wife to be the truckdriverWants his wife to be the gardenerAnd still look like a Hollywood StarletAnd still look like a Hollywood StarletSo the mother gets mad and she leaves townThat brings the father and the baby downShe wants the father to find herDrinkin' orange pop in the seedy Greek dinerFairweather fatherFairweather fatherGets her back and gets up in the nightLoves her so much and holds the baby tightAin't that enough to make you cryAin't that enough to make you cryFairweather fatherFairweather fatherDoesn't like to hear the baby cryDoesn't like to know about the aches and painsOf the day gone byOf the day gone by
