I personally feel this song has 2 interpretations...depending if you are the woman who has been cheated on or youre the woman he cheated with, either "woman" you are, a child was born.

I see both ends throughout the song/lyrics...but more some the latter...

"That woman's on my back again.

I know she's got the best intention

When you began to realize

You know, you got your daddy's eyes."

-This man/father is attempting to explain his position to HIS child, HIS child who does not know his father. And that child's mother is pestering this so called "daddy".

"And there's something I wanna say, I love her too.

And all of this has got nothing to do with you."

-This man's piss poor attempt explaining to his son, that he got himself involved within this "love triangle"; with the end result in creating this child. But the man chooses not to stand by the child he created.

"And I know that you called because you never even knew that it was hurting me...

Sometimes people get tired, And I woke up a little too late to lie, dreams should last a long time..."

-Daddy is trying to say he knew about his "love child", plays a pitty party (of 1) by saying it was hurting him. He doesn't want to ruin the dream this child has had of his daddy his whole life.

"And I'd like to stay but I can't because I've been fooling around

And I know that you called because you never even knew that it was hurting me, but I love her too"

-Daddy is tired of keeping it from his wifey/girlfriend this hole time, but still cant own his reality, So he chooses not too.
