"Your Daddy Hates Me"


I know your Daddy hates me and I got a room in hell reserved.
I know he wants to kill me and it’s the least that I deserve
But I always loved your Daddy, that’s something that I know you know.
Just sometimes don’t do what I ought to, sometimes I yes when I should no.

I know your Daddy hates me and I drink more than a whale
but my failures ain’t for lack of trying it’s just a little too late now to prevail.
You always knew I was a screw up, long before I screwed us up.
You just said it endeared you to me, but in the end you just gave up

And I always loved your Daddy, I loved your Mama even more
And I always loved their daughter, that’s for sure.

I know your Daddy hates me, I know I’d probably hate me too.
But, I also know you don’t hate me, even though you’d probably like to and ought to.
And it’s a little too late for writing love songs, but I never did anything on time.
Happiness on your big adventure.
See you Darling down the line
