DADDY WAITED UP
IN THE KITCHEN
BY HIMSELF
I CAME STUMBLIN' IN
THAT NIGHT
WITH LIQUOR
ON MY BREATH
HE SAID
SON I KNOW YOU
LIVE HERE
BUT THIS IS STILL
MY HOME
IT'S MY WAY
OR THE HIGHWAY
SO I SAID ALRIGHT
I'M GONE
AND BEFORE I SLAMMED
THAT DOOR
I SAID I HATE YOU
HE JUST SHOOK
HIS HEAD
AND SAID O.K.
BUT YOU CAN'T STOP
MY LOVE FOR YOU
IT'LL BE HERE
THAT'S A GIVEN
AS LONG AS I AM LIVIN'
ON THIS EARTH
ONE THING IS TRUE
YOU COULD TURN AWAY
AND FORGET ME
CURSE MY NAME
BUT LOVE WON'T LET ME
LET YOU GO
SON ALWAYS KNOW
MY LOVE
IS UNCONDITIONAL
LIFE IS LIKE A CIRCLE
IT'S SLOWLY TURNIN' ON
ITSELF
AND GIRL IT TOOK
LOSIN' YOU
TO FINALLY KNOW
HOW DADDY FELT
WE STOOD IN THIS
BEDROOM
A YEAR AGO TODAY
HANGIN' ON TO
PRIDE AND ANGER
AS WE THREW
OUR LOVE AWAY
AND BEFORE YOU
SLAMMED THAT DOOR
YOU SAID I HATE YOU
BUT TONIGHT
IF ONLY YOU
COULD HEAR ME SAY
YOU CAN'T STOP
MY LOVE FOR YOU
IT'LL BE HERE
THAT'S A GIVEN
AS LONG AS I AM LIVIN'
ON THIS EARTH
ONE THING IS TRUE
YOU CAN TURN AWAY
AND FORGET ME
CURSE MY NAME
BUT LOVE WON'T LET ME
LET YOU GO
GIRL ALWAYS KNOW
MY LOVE
IS UNCONDITIONAL
YOU COULD TURN AWAY
COULD FORGET ME
CURSE MY NAME
YOU CAN EVEN
LET ME GO
BUT YOU NEED TO KNOW
MY LOVE
IS UNCONDITIONAL
