                 Daddy was a sailor, fought in the war
                 When I was born he was far from shore
                 And when he got back he was seldom home
                 Mamma raised three kids alone
                 Did her best to teach us right from wrong
                 An' she got along best with daddy when he was gone

                          Everybody's happy, everybody's sad
                          Everybody feels sorry, everyone get's mad
                          Everybody's hungry, everybody's blind
                          An' we all need help to find our way sometimes
                          And like anybody, I need love

                 Now I'm grown, got a family of my own
                 Done my best to make our house a home
                 And I still don't know what I ever did
                 Like daddy, you left for someone new
                 You say you love her, I doubt you do
                 But no doubt she means more to you than our kids

                          Everybody's lonely, everyone feels bad
                          Every heart's been broken, everybody's been had

                 Like a boat without a rudder tossed in a dark stormy sea
                 I've spent my whole life waiting for a sailor to come and rescue me

                          Everybody's happy, everybody's sad
                          Everybody feels sorry, everyone get's mad
                          Everybody's hungry, everybody's blind
                          An' we all need help to find our way sometimes
                          And like anybody, I need love
                          Like anybody, I need love
