Would you believe, years ago
Her daddy left, didn't tell a soul
Just packed his bags, headed out the door
Nobody heard from him no more.
She never knew her daddy's love
Her mother did her best
Oh, they told her give up now
But no, she would not rest.
Until she found the love she was denied
That night, she found it in his eyes
He said, "sorry for the pain he caused
You've done your mother proud"
He took her hands into his own
"I'll never leave" he vowed.
Found a good man.
She walked a long troubled road
So many times she lay alone
Still, she kept on knocking at those doors
Wouldn't settle for this life
No, she wanted more.
She never knew her daddy's love
Her mother did her best
Oh, they told her give up now
But no, she would not rest.
Until she found the love she was denied
That night, she found it in his eyes
He said, "sorry for the pain he caused
You've done your mother proud"
He took her hands into his own
"I'll never leave" he vowed.
Found a good man.
(Oh yeah she did)
Found a good man.
Oh yeah, she found the love she was denied
That night, she found it in his eyes
He said, "sorry for the pain he caused
You've done your mother proud"
He took her hands into his own
"I'll never leave" he vowed.
Found a good man.
