[Intro: Jermaine Jackson & (The Jacksons)]
You know, girl, every time I hum that little tune
It reminds me so much of you
I mean, all the days we spent together
When we were so in love
All I had was you
You, you, you, you, you, hmm, mmm
But you see, I'm all alone now
I need someone to come home to
And that's why I want that person to be you
I gotta be so close, so close
Closer, closer, closer, hmm (To you)
And when I get up on you, I wanna hug you (Get closer)
And squeeze you (Get closer)
And kiss you (Get closer, get closer)
I wanna be yours (Closer to you)
You, you, you, you, you (Closer to you)

[Verse 1: Jermaine Jackson]
You're my love, you're my angel
You're the girl of my dreams
I'd like to thank you for waiting patiently, yeah

[Chorus: Jermaine Jackson & The Jacksons]
Daddy's home
Your daddy's home to stay, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2: Jermaine Jackson & (The Jacksons)]
How I've waited for this moment
To be by your side (To be by your side)
Your best friend wrote and told me (That)
You had teardrops in your eyes, yeah

[Chorus: Jermaine Jackson & The Jacksons]
Daddy's home
Daddy's home to stay

[Bridge: Jermaine Jackson & (The Jacksons)]
It wasn't on a Sunday (Monday and Tuesday went by)
It wasn't on a Tuesday afternoon (All I could do was cry)
But I made a promise that you treasured, yeah
(Shoop, shoo-wop)
I made it back home to you

[Verse 3: Jermaine Jackson & (The Jacksons)]
How I've waited for this moment
To be by your side (To be by your side)
Your best friend wrote and told me
You had teardrops, teardrops in your eyes

[Chorus: Jermaine Jackson & (The Jacksons)]
Daddy's home
Your daddy's home to stay, yeah, yeah yeah
(Daddy's home to stay)
I'm not a thousand miles away, no, no, yeah
(Daddy's home to stay)
I'm gonna be here come what may, come what may
(Daddy's home to stay)
[Outro: Jermaine Jackson & Michael Jackson]
I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna stay, yeah
(I'm gonna be by your side)
Stay, stay, yeah yeah yeah
