Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Daddy, don't

I swear I won't

I'll be good from now on

And I'm awful sorry

[Verse 2]

Daddy, don't

The hell I won't

I won't be good anymore

And you'll all be sorry

[PreChorus]

Can anybody tell me why the pain, it just won't stop?

Can anybody help me? This pain, it just won't stop

[Chorus]

My only regret

Is that I never took the time to forget

All those unspoken feelings

That were never spent

On those who understand that love deserves respect

And not your sordid meaning

[Verse 3]

Daddy, don't

I swear I won't

I'll be good from now on

And I'm awful sorry

[Verse 4]

Daddy, don't

The hell I won't

I won't be good anymore

And you'll all be sorry

[PreChorus]

Can anybody tell me why the pain, it just won't stop?

Can anybody help me? This pain, it just won't stop

[Chorus]

My only regret

Is that I never took the time to forget

All those unspoken feelings

That were never spent

On those who understand that love deserves respect

And not your sordid meaning

[Bridge]

Don't know what to tell you now

It's never really what they tell you now

You ought to know what they tell you now

Not really what they tell you now

Don't know what to tell you now

It ain't really what they tell you now

Don't know what to tell you now

It ain't really what they tell you now

[Chorus]

My only regret

Is that I never took the time to forget

All those unspoken feelings

That were never spent

On those who understand that love deserves respect

And not your sordid meaning

[Outro]

I never ever took the time to forget
