Worn out stitches on a baseball up against the wall Me and myself tryna play catch ´Cause Daddy ain´t home yet I was Batman, Robin, and the Joker, too
It was Gotham City lonesome in the living room And Mama would say "You pray ´cause your daddy´s gonna be late"
But the lights stayed on somehow And love filled up my little house Yeah, life ain´t always what it seems ´Cause I thought all he ever did was leave
But somebody played Tooth Fairy, left the cash, took out the trash Made Mama feel pretty, put a dent in the whiskey There were tip-toe prayers and midnight kisses "I love you´s" and little boy wishes For Saturday´s where we could play all day
But the lights stayed on somehow And love filled up my little house
Yeah, life ain´t always what it seems ´Cause I thought all he ever did was leave
Worn out stitches on a baseball up against the wall He and himself tryna play catch ´Cause I ain´t home yet
But the lights stayed on somehow And love fills up my little house Yeah, life ain´t always what it seems I hope he don´t think I hope he don´t think All I ever do is leave
