From the recording Dear Lila
Lyrics
I know you didn’t chose me
Sometimes you wanna lose me
But right now I ain’t going anywhere
Can’t we just get along?
Try to sing the same song?
Oh little girl I just wanna make you smile
Not trying to be your Daddy
Just wanna be your friend
Watch you grow up
Watch you run amuck
Maybe teach you a thing or two
But you’ll never love me like you love him
Love me like you love him
We’ll be alright, we’ll sometimes fight
But you’ll never love me like you love him
Your mumma’s got more love for you
Than I could ever hold her to
You’ll always be first
That don’t make me the worst
She just loves me a little bit less
Your dad will always be your dad
That don’t make me one little bit mad
Your dad’s a good man
Maybe better than I am
But if you need me I’ll be there
But you’ll never love me like you love him
Love me like you love him
We’ll be alright, we’ll sometimes fight
But you’ll never love me like you love him
And when you get older
I’ll still have a shoulder
You can cry on whenever you’re sad
And if that’s too much
Then I won’t be crushed
When you go running to your dad
But you’ll never love me like you love him
Love me like you love him
We’ll be alright, we’ll sometimes fight
But you’ll never love me like you love him
Love me like you love him
We’ll be alright, we’ll sometimes fight
But you’ll never love me like you love him
