Daddy,doesn't it hurt you to see how mummy cries?
Daddy,when will you listen?
Stop accusing me of lies
Daddy,I see your misery
It's tearing me apart
But you can't drink your pains away
Or this world you will depart

Yesterday you had your 'fun' again
Just like the night before
And once again i was forced to restrain
Sister from running out the door

Daddy you say i'm stupid
You say that i'm so young
But daddy, oh daddy
You can't see what you've become
