Her Father Didn't Like Me Anyway Lyrics

The coat she wore still lies upon the bed,
The book I gave her that she never read
She left without a single word to say
And her father didn't like me any way
She always wanted more than I could give
She wasn't happy with the way we lived
I could have felt like asking her to stay
But her father didn't like me anyway.
[Chorus]
Daddy never knew just what she saw in me
Daddy didn't like my hair
Perhaps if we had talked
he'd have seen something in me
But daddy didn't really care.

To tell the truth I didn't have the nerve
I know I only got what I deserved
So now she's taken leave of me today
Her daddy didn't like me anyway
