Daddy's come around to Mama's way of thinking
No more staying out all night a' drinking
Every thing's better on the home front now
They're meeting in the middle, working it out
I finally figured out he's got something worth keeping
And Daddy's come around to Mama's way of thinking

Daddy used to go out every night with his friends
And Mama stayed home taking care of the kids
Daddy didn't mind the way it was arranged
To his way of thinking, it didn't seem strange

Then one night Mama met him at the door
'Cause the key in his hand didn't work anymore
Mama said more than the locks have changed
There's a new set of rules to this old game

And Daddy's come around to Mama's way of thinking
No more staying out all night a' drinking
Every thing's better on the home front now
They're meeting in the middle, working it out
Finally figured out he's got something worth keeping
Daddy's come around to Mama's way of thinking

Now it's been some time since she laid down the law
But Daddy don't seem to mind at all
Come straight home when the work day's through
He's even done the dishes a time or two

And late last night when the lights were low
Daddy told Mama, "I love you so"
Early this morning Mama said to him
"You just might get to be a Daddy again"

Yeah, Daddy's come around to Mama's way of thinking
No more staying out all night a' drinking
Every thing's better on the home front now
They're meeting in the middle, working it out
He finally figured out he's got something worth keeping

Daddy's come around to Mama's way of thinking
Every thing's better on the home front now
They're meeting in the middle, working it out
He finally figured out he's got something worth keeping
Yeah, now Daddy's come around to Mama's way of thinking
Yeah, Daddy's come around to Mama's way of thinking
Yeah, Daddy's come around to Mama's way of thinking
