  • 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
