I know your father doesn't care for me
He doesn't think I make enough money
To give his little girl enough security
I was raised on the wrong side of town
And he thinks that I'm bringing you down
From where you belong
But he is wrong
I think he's wrong
I hope he's wrong
What can I say?
What can I do?
I've spent my whole life waiting for you
What can I say when he turns me away?
He may not think I'm the man who was
meant for you
but I do
I really think I do
I really think I do
I really think I do
I know you've always been a daddy's girl
And he has taken you around the world
To show you the finer things in life
Please try hard to make him understand
That I am trying as hard as I can
To give you what you deserve
What you deserve
What you deserve
What we deserve
What can I say?
What can I do?
I'm trying hard but I can't break through
What can I say when he turns me away?
He may not think I'm the man who was
meant for you
But I do
I really think I do
I really think I do
I really think I do
