In our neighborhood the kids had been out playing
Little Johnny's clothes were torn when he came home
I overheard these words he kept saying that better leave my daddy alone
She kissed away the tears to console him as I fought to hide my own I held back
And the more he cried the closer she would hold him
And I broke down with these questions that he asked
Does steppin' out mean daddy went out walkin'
Does cheatin' mean my daddy don't play right
Does gossip mean they're lyin' while they're talkin'
Does two timin' mean that daddy stepped out twice

Mama don't my daddy stay out late cause he's workin'
I can't understand this kinda talk
Does lady's man mean daddy's a sissy
Mom don't steppin' out mean daddy took a walk
Does steppin' out mean daddy went out walkin'
I just can't understand this kinda talk
Don't my daddy stay out late cause he's workin'
Mom don't steppin' out mean daddy took a walk
