If you knew the reason why Would you scream and shout? If you knew the hour when Your daughter walked on out? You've never been my father figure I've never been your girl And if we had another chance Would you give it all a whirl? I once was asked my biggest dream Be it riches, brains or fame I bit my lip and held it back I want you to say my name I can see you hugging me My father loving me But then I wake up and realise That dreams can never be We share a birthday, share a name But nothing much else more There's more to me than meets the eye There's more behind the door I do more than read my books And scoff down Sunday food I try to show my things to you But you're never in the mood Is it really any wonder, then That I've strayed from on the track? Flounced away from the world of you And never once looked back? You're slowly pushing me away I'm pulling my bit, too If you're the example of what men are They all belong in zoos My birthday came and then it went Your duty through a name My card was signed 'with love from Daddy' Guess some things never change I'm growing up, I'm older now The choices now are mine You get mad when I don't come visit? I'm leaving you behind I don't have a father any more He went when I was young You had your chance and promptly blew it When I sang the song I'd sung I'm moving up, I'm moving on But still somewhere inside My heart cries out for a simple hug A hug I'll never find Daddy's girl? Me? Yeah, right First I need a daddy One who's right I get jealous of all my friends Bet you'll never realise why They've got dads who love them so That still makes me cry Once again, my greatest desire? A father for me who's walk through fire In my dreams...
