In this mental institution, lookin' out through these iron bars

How could he put me in here, how could he go that far

Yes i need help but not this kind, he didn't love me from the start

But it's not my mind that's broken, it's my heart

Oh daddy come and get me and take me home with you

I'm depending on you daddy, there's nothing i can do

And you said that i could come to you if i ever was in need

But daddy i can't come to you, you'll have to come to me



When he said he loved another, i was crazy with jealousy

That's 'cause i was crazy over him and i couldn't stand to set him free

And i couldn't stand to lose him and i cried and cried for days

And he said that i was crazy but he just put me in here to get me out of his way

Daddy come and get me



Oh daddy come and get me and take me home with you

I'm depending on you daddy 'cause there's nothing else i can do

And you said that i could come to you if i ever was in need

But daddy i can't come to you, you'll have to come to me



Oh daddy, come and get me
