This child needs its father
Come back home, Joe (Come back, ooh)
This child needs its father
Come back home
We both need you, Joe (Come back home)

People talk, as I walk with the baby
But I still hold my head up high
With a smile I disguise the pain I feel
But they still see it in my eyes

I'm trying to do the best I can (Best I can)
But I refuse to let this bed hold another man, ooh

This child needs its father
Come back home, Joe (Come back, ooo)
This child needs its father
Come back home
We both need you, Joe (Come back home)

I just cry, when I try to forget you
And I'm seaching for something to do
But the baby starts fussing, and I see his face
And you know he's the picture of you

Our future lies in your hands, Joe (In your hands)
Because love wouldn't be the same with another man

(Joe) He calls for daddy every day
(Joe) But you're not there
(Joe) I'm running out of things to say
How can I tell him, that you just don't care?

This child needs its father
Come back home, Joe (Come back come back, ooh)
Ooh, this child needs its father
Come back home, Joe
We both need you, Joe (Come back)
Ooh ooh, this child needs its father
Come back home, Joe (Come back, come back)
