What did she do to you sir?
Can't you see that you are twice the size of her?
It's not like she can stand up
When you beat her down with your love
Turn around and hear his screams as you toss his mom around
He sees his loving father beating mommy down
You threw me into the wall and you told me to shut up
F* C A# - C
That's what ignited me and then I blew up
Why can't I forget?
WHEN IT SAYS "R1" PLAY THIS:
D A# F* F6*-F*-F6*
Daddy dearest, I love you, please return it back
D A# F* F6*-F*-F6*
Christian family, we once were, do you still blame me?
D A# F* F6* F*-F6*
Daddy dearest, you left me, nowhere to be found
D A# F* F6* D R1
Christian family, we still are, forgive and forget
Dad you are still in my prayers
Even though, when I needed you you weren't there
Your daughter would also like to
Once again, just be called a princess by you
She cried so hard that she couldn't breathe, but you didn't even know
And if you did, you were too involved in yourself to show
So I went to comfort her and to see if she was okay
F* C A# - C
That's when you decided to leave us, then you ran away
Why can't I forget?
D A# F* F6*-F*-F6*
Daddy dearest, you weren't there, when she cried to you
D A# F* F6*-F*-F6*
Christian values, you taught me, what a hypocrite
D A# F* F6*-F*-F6*
Daddy dearest, my mentor, I still weep for you
D A# F* F6* D R1
Christian father, maybe so, now my dad is God. Now my dad is God
D-A#-F*-F6* (2X)
R1
So long, no goodbyes from you, did I hear at all
Father, how I wish you well, in this world of fools
D A# F* F6*-F*-F6*
Daddy dearest, I love you, please return it back
D A# F* F6*-F*-F6*
Christian family, we once were, do you still blame me?
D A# F* F6*-F*-F6*
Daddy dearest, you left me, nowhere to be found
Christian family, we still are, forgive and forget
