This song came out dark. I'm going to have to figure out some music to match the mood.
verse:
On Father's Day I buy a card.
Picking out a gift is hard.
A gift for someone who is always sad.
I don't know how to help you, Dad.
chorus:
Birth fathers, stepfathers,
Those who adopted.
Father figures,
Saints and sinners.
All fathers I've wanted
On Father's Day.
verse:
The devil comes when you talk to God.
Aunt Clara says you were always odd.
I wonder how Mom ever fell in love.
Some days I think she's had enough.
chorus
verse:
You never give anyone a hug.
For you a handshake is too much.
I've never heard a word of praise.
I had a long rebellious phase
chorus
instrumental bridge
verse:
You gamble the mortgage payment away
Then tell us we've only got a few days
To come up with a way to pay.
Somehow we find a way to stay.
chorus
verse:
You play solitaire for hours on end.
I never invite my friends
To watch the game that you never win
And whisper about the loony bin.
chorus

It certainly seems dark. Good luck on finding he proper music. I assume you are on the trail of a Minor key.
It seems like you are going to the chorus a bit too often. I would think two trips to the chorus bar would give you your fill.
John, thanks. You're absolutely right. Having so many repetitions of the chorus would make for a long and boring song. I didn't realize how many verses I had.
Yes, it does call for a minor key. And maybe some diminished chords.
