Father Figure

[Verse 1]

That's all I wanted, something special

Something sacred in your eyes

For just one moment to be bold and naked

At your side

[Refrain]

Sometimes I think that you'll never

Understand me (Understand me)

Maybe this time is forever

Say it can be, oh, whoa

[Verse 2]

That's all you wanted, somethin' special

Someone sacred in your life

Just for one moment, to be warm and naked

At my side

[Refrain]

Sometimes I think that you'll never

Understand me (Understand me)

But somethin' tells me together

We'd be happy, whoa-oh, baby

[Chorus]

I will be your father figure (Oh, baby)

Put your tiny hand in mine (I'd love to)

I will be your preacher, teacher (Be your daddy)

Anything you have in mind (Ooh)

I will be your father figure (Very happy)

I have had enough of crime (Please let me)

I will be the one who loves you

'Til the end of time ('Til, 'til, 'til, oh)

Oh

Oh

[Verse 3]

That's all I wanted, but sometimes love can be mistaken

For a crime

That's all I wanted, just to see my baby's

Blue eyes shine

[Refrain]

This time I think that my lover

Understands me (Understands me), hee

If we have faith in each other

Then we can be strong, my baby

[Chorus]

I will be your father figure (My baby)

Put your tiny hand in mine (Oh)

I will be your preacher, teacher

Anything you have in mind (I'll be your daddy)

I will be your father figure (I'll be your father)

I have had enough of crime (Oh)

I will be the one who loves you

'Til the end of time

[Bridge]

If you are the desert, I'll be the sea

If you ever hunger, hunger for me

Whatever you ask for, that's what I'll be, yeah, ooh

So when you remember the ones who have lied

Who said that they cared, but then laughed as you cried

Beautiful darling, don't think of me, because all I ever wanted

Oh, ooh

Greet me with the eyes of a child (Oh)

My love is always tellin' me so

Heaven is a kiss and a smile

Just hold on, hold on, I won't let you go, my baby

[Chorus]

I will be your father figure

Put your tiny hand in mine (Put your hands in mine)

I will be your preacher, teacher

Anything you have in mind, baby (You have in mind)

I will be your father figure

I have had enough of crime

I will be the one who loves you (I will be the one who loves you)

[Outro]

I will be your father (I will be your)

I will be your preacher (Father, oh)

I will be your father (I'll be your daddy, oh)

I will be the one who loves you

'Til the end of time
