What Your Father Says

[Verse 1]

Is it a bad time to tell you I love you

When I'm watching you walk away?

Bad time to tell you I need you

When he's made up his mind again

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't be cruel to me

All I do is believe

[Verse 2]

That it's a bad time to tell you to trust me

When I'm getting my story straight

A bad time to kick up a fuss

When it's only ever me to blame

You're confused about me

[Pre-Chorus]

(All the rumours getting through

'Cause he heard that I'm bad news, oh baby)

[Chorus]

Forget what your father says

I'm throwing stones at your windowpane

'Cause a boy like me and a girl like you

Got no degrees and a lot to prove

Says that you're wrong for me

Forget what your father says

[Verse 3]

Is it the good times, sneak in the back door

When your dad's at work all day?

A good time to lean in and kiss you

When he's not up in your face

[Pre-Chorus]

You're confused about me

All the rumours getting through

'Cause he heard that I'm bad news, oh baby

[Chorus]

Forget what your father says

I'm throwing stones at your windowpane

'Cause a boy like me and a girl like you

Got no degrees and a lot to prove

Says that you're wrong for me

Forget what your father says

[Bridge]

Told me he don't like my hair, he don't like my music

Told me that I better run otherwise he'll lose it

And if I want his daughter's love I better start praying

So all that I keep saying to her

[Chorus]

Forget what your father says

I'm throwing stones at your windowpane

'Cause a boy like me and a girl like you

Got no degrees and a lot to prove

Says that you're wrong for me

Forget what your father says

I'm throwing stones at your windowpane

'Cause a boy like me and a girl like you

Got no degrees and a lot to prove

Says that you're wrong for me

Forget what your father says

Forget what your father says

Forget what your father says
