Carly Simon - Fairweather Father lyrics

(carly simon) Fairweather father Fairweather father Doesn't like to hear the baby cry Doesn't like to about the aches and pains Of the day gone by Of the day gone by But the mother advertised as a bargain wife She'd make things easy for the rest of his life And to make herself more appealing She'd think only of him and forget her own feelings Fairweather father Fairweather father Wants his wife to be the truckdriver Wants his wife to be the gardener And still look like a hollywood starlet And still look like a hollywood starlet So the mother gets mad and she leaves town That brings the father and the baby down She wants the father to find her Drinkin' orange pop in the seedy greek diner Fairweather father Fairweather father Gets her back and gets up in the night Loves her so much and holds the baby tight Ain't that enough to make you cry Ain't that enough to make you cry Fairweather father Fairweather father Doesn't like to hear the baby cry Doesn't like to know about the aches and pains Of the day gone by Of the day gone by
