[Verse 1]
In this mental institution, looking 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
When he said he loved another, I was crazy with jealousy
That's because 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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Oh Daddy, come and get me
