Ah, baby
Look how big you grown
Been a long time
Since I´ve been back home
I´m sorry that

I wasn´t there to ever help you out
Now I´ve come back to try
To see if I could ever make it right

"Oh, Daddy
Oh, where were you?
When I needed new shoes
Someone to walk me to school"
That´s when she said
"I never wanna see your face again"
That´s what she said to me
"Don´t let me catch you ´round these ends again"

That´s when it hit me, I can tell you
Though I deserved every word
That was a pain I won´t get over
To know that I´d hurt her so

You see, sometimes
You can leave it too long
And you can´t come around
To what you made so wrong
You never had
The time before, so why would you need more?
That´s when she said to me
"I never wanna see you ´round here no more"

All of my life´s been an illusion
In and out and getting high
Committed a pain she can´t get over
I can feel it when I looked in her eyes

That´s what she said to me
Oh, that´s what she said to me
