What Your Father Says

Is it a bad time to tell you I love you

When I'm watching you walk away?

Bad time to tell you I need you

When he's made up his mind again

Don't be cruel to me

All I do is believe

That it's a bad time to tell you to trust me

When I'm getting my story straight

A bad time to kick up a fuss

When it's only ever me to blame

You're confused about me

(All the rumours getting through

'Cause he heard that I'm bad news, oh baby)

Forget what your father says

I'm throwing stones at your windowpane

'Cause a boy like me and a girl like you

Got no degrees and a lot to prove

Says that you're wrong for me

Forget what your father says

Is it the good times, sneak in the back door

When your dad's at work all day?

A good time to lean in and kiss you

When he's not up in your face

You're confused about me

All the rumours getting through

'Cause he heard that I'm bad news, oh baby

Forget what your father says

I'm throwing stones at your windowpane

'Cause a boy like me and a girl like you

Got no degrees and a lot to prove

Says that you're wrong for me

Forget what your father says

Told me he don't like my hair, he don't like my music

Told me that I better run otherwise he'll lose it

And if I want his daughter's love I better start praying

So all that I keep saying to her

Forget what your father says

I'm throwing stones at your windowpane

'Cause a boy like me and a girl like you

Got no degrees and a lot to prove

Says that you're wrong for me

Forget what your father says

I'm throwing stones at your windowpane

'Cause a boy like me and a girl like you

Got no degrees and a lot to prove

Says that you're wrong for me

Forget what your father says

Forget what your father says

Forget what your father says
