Lyrics
If you try to hunt me down, don't forget to look behind you
I'm the one that you can't see, listen close and I'll remind you
I took the hand of your innocence
Walked in through your front door with some useful information
I've been watching them for weeks I still can't believe they paid attention
I used your name in vain, told them that they'd never have to go home again
Have you ever seen before that loving look in their eyes
Not the one you're thinking of, no matter how hard you try
I'll be their Father for the rest of their lives
Good to me in every fashion, right down to the chains that bind her
You think that you're so damn close, I know that you'll never find her
That silky skin of your innocence
Fathered seven children before you ever knew her name
You think that you'll recognize her?
I'll make sure she don't look the same
I used your name in vain, told her that she'd never have to go home again
Have you ever seen before that loving look in her eyes
Not the one you're thinking of, no matter how hard you try
I'll be her Father for the rest of her life
Fathered seven children before you ever knew her name
You think that you'll recognize her?
I'll make sure she don't look the same
I used your name in vain, told her that she'd never have to go home again
Have you ever seen before that loving look in her eyes
Not the one you're thinking of, no matter how hard you try
I'll be her Father for the rest of her life
