Frankie Adamson - Daddy lyrics

Daddy, why won't you listen to me. Please hear my silent plea, you so often ignore. Why can't you see my pain? Just once, I wish you'd say; "I love you, simply because you are you." Why can't you admire my compa**ion? My soul? That you don't even know, yet cries out for recognition. Why have you never heard my plea? A plea to understand who I am. Grew up believing, everything you did was right. I tried so hard to please you. Yet I always fell somehow short of your expectations. Why did I fail to win your love? Why have you never hear me cry? Why have you never listened to me? You have hear my words, but you never understood what I was trying to say. I really did try to be what you wanted me to be, I just never knew how.
