Color him father
Color this man love
There's a man at my house, he's so big and strong
He goes to work each day and he stays all day long
He comes home each night looking tired and beat
He sits down at the dinner table and he has a bite to eat
But never a frown, always a smile
When he says to me, "Hey, how's my child?"
I said, "I've been studying hard all day in school
Trying very hard to understand this thing they call the golden rule"
I've got to color him father (Color him father)
I've got to color him love, yeah (Color him love)
I've got to color him father, yeah (Color him father)
I think I've got to color this man love, yes (Color him love, love)
He said, "Education is the thing if you wanna compete
You see, son, without education, listen to me
Life ain't gon' be very sweet"
I love this man and I don't know why
Except I'll need his strength until the day that I die
My mama loves him, oh Lord, I can tell
By the way she looks at him when he holds my little sister Nell
I heard her say just the other day
That if it hadn't have been for him, Lord, you know
We wouldn't have found our way
So I gotta color him father, yes (Color him father)
I've got to color him love, yeah (Color him love)
Got to color him father, yes, Lord (Color him father)
I think I've gotta color this man love
Yes, I gotta (Color him love, love)
(Color this man love)
Her real father, he got killed in the war
And you know my mama with seven children
She wouldn't have gotten very far
She said she thought she would never, never ever love again
But then there he stood, the man with the big wide grin
He married my mama and he took us in, all seven of us
Now we belong to the man with that big wide grin
I've gotta color him father, yes (Color him father)
I've got to color him love, love, love, love (Color him love)
I've gotta color this man father, yes (Color him father)
You know I just gotta color the man love (Color him love)
