Oh, I took your love for granted
I didn't understand
Daddy I had to do it my way
I never thought you were half a man
Oh, I was so confused then
And I just couldn't see
Everything that you were doing
You were doing just for me

How do I say daddy please forgive me?
How do I prove my love to you?
How do I say daddy please forgive me, yeah yeah
Daddy I'm sorry I never knew

You gave me all I wanted
You even gave me life
When I didn't deserve it
You made that sacrifice
Oh, I was so confused then
And I just couldn't see
Everything that you were doing
You were doing just for me

How do I say daddy please forgive me?
How do I prove my love to you?
How do I say daddy please forgive me, yeah yeah
Daddy I'm sorry I never knew
x2

Daddy I'm sorry I never knew
Daddy I'm sorry I never knew, no no
Forgive me. I'm sorry I never knew
Daddy I'm sorry I never knew
I never knew
