Can anybody help me? The pain it just won't stop My only regret Is that I never took the time to forgive All those unspoken feelings That were never spared And those who understand And lack self respect And not the sordid meaning Daddy, don't I swear I won't I'll be good from now on And I'm awful sorry Daddy don't The hell I won't I won't be good anymore And you'll all be sorry Can anybody tell me why the pain, it just won't stop? Can anybody help me? The pain it just won't stop My only regret Is that I never took the time to forgive All those unspoken feelings That were never spared And those who understand And lack self respect And not the sordid meaning Don't know what to tell you now It's never really what they tell you, now You oughta know what they tell you now And not really what they tell you now Don't know what to tell you now It ain't really what they tell you, now Don't go where they tell you, now It ain't really what they tell you, now My only regret Is that I never took the time to forgive All those unspoken feelings That were never spared And those who understand And lack self respect And not the sordid meaning Is that I never took the time to forgive"
