Father Figure

 

 

Well, I guess it would be nice

If I could touch your body

I know not everybody

Has got a body like you

But I gotta think twice

Before I give my heart away

And I know all the games you play

Because I play them too

 

 

 

Oh, but I

Need some time off from that emotion

Time to pick my heart up off the floor

Oh, when that love comes down

Without devotion

Well, it takes a strong man, baby

But I'm showing you the door

 

 

'Cause I gotta have faith

I gotta have faith

Because I gotta have faith, faith

I gotta have faith, faith, faith

 

 

Baby

I know you're asking me to stay

Say please, please, please don't go away

You say I'm giving you the blues

Maybe

You mean every word you say

Can't help but think of yesterday

And another who tied me down to loverboy rules

 

 

Before this river

Becomes an ocean

Before you throw my heart back on the floor

Oh baby, I reconsider

My foolish notion

Well, I need someone to hold me

But I'll wait for something more

 

 

Yes, I gotta have faith

Ooh, I gotta have faith

Because I gotta have faith, faith, faith

I gotta have faith, faith, faith

 

 

[Solo]

 

 

Before this river

Becomes an ocean

Before you throw my heart back on the floor

Oh baby, I reconsider

My foolish notion

Well, I need someone to hold me

But I'll wait for something more

 

 

'Cause I gotta have faith

Ooh, I gotta have faith

Because I gotta have faith, faith, faith

I gotta have faith, faith, faith
