[Verse]

Daddy, don't

I swear I won't

I'll be good from now on

And I'm awful sorry

Daddy, don't

The hell I won't

I won't be good anymore

And you'll all be sorry

[Refrain]

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 forgive

All those unspoken feelings

That were never spared

And those who understand

That love deserves respect

And not your sordid meaning

[Verse]

Daddy, don't

I swear I won't

I'll be good from now on

And I'm awful sorry

Daddy, don't

The hell I won't

I won't be good anymore

And you'll all be sorry

[Refrain]

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 forgive

All those unspoken feelings

That were never spared

And 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

He often does what they tell you now

And 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 forgive

All those unspoken feelings

That were never spared

And those who understand

That love deserves respect

And not your sordid meaning

[Outro]

Is that I never took the time to forgive
