[Verse 1]
And I know your daddy hates me
And I got a room in hell reserved
And I know he wants to kill me
And it's the least that I deserve
But I always loved his daughter
That's something that I know you know
Just sometimes don't do what I oughta
Sometimes I "yes" when I should "no"
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
And I know your daddy hates me
And I drink more than a whale
But my failures ain't for lack of tryin'
It's just a little too late now to prevail
But you always knew I was a screw up
Long before I screwed us up
You said it endeared you to me
But in the end, you just gave up
[Chorus]
And I always loved your daddy
I loved your mama even more
And I always loved their daughter
That's for sure
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
And I know your daddy hates me
I know I probably hate me too
But I also know you don't hate me
Even though you probably like to and ought to
And it's a little too late for writin' love songs
But I never did anything on time
Happiness for your big adventure
See you, darlin', down the line
[Chorus]
And I always loved your daddy
I loved your mama even more
And you always was the apple of my eyes
That's for sure
You know I always loved your daddy
I loved your mama even more
And I always loved you, darlin'
That's for sure
[Guitar Solo]
