The little girl, she wipes her tears
Her mind is racing with placid false fears
Daddy's coming; he won't be late
He's coming to have fun on our little play date
Back from work, he's as tired as can be
Little girl, she's crying and wishing to be free
Open the door, turn on the lights, throw his bag on the floor
Little girl shudders hard and bleeds tears once more
"C'mon out you shouldn't be scared."
"Oh daddy please no..." but he shouldn't be dared
No one hears a sound and no one calls for help
Little girl made nothing more than a yelp
Expected to sleep soundly tonight
When she really becomes consumed with fright
Mommy won't know
