Oh Father lyrics

Song information

Artist: Madonna
Album: Like A Prayer

Lyrics

It's funny that way, you can get used
To the tears and the pain
What a child will believe
You never loved me

Chorus:

You can't hurt me now
I got away from you, I never thought I would
You can't make me cry, you once had the power
I never felt so good about myself

Seems like yesterday
I lay down next to your boots and I prayed
For your anger to end
Oh father I have sinned

(Chorus)

Oh father, you never wanted to live that way
You never wanted to hurt me
Why am I running away?
(Repeat)

Maybe someday
When I look back I'll be able to say
You didn't mean to be cruel
Somebody hurt you too

(Chorus)
(Repeat chorus)
