This isn`t living now A thing my father said to me And get a haircut, boy If you want a chance in respectable society Why did you stop writing? I knew you had some trouble, son But you should know by now That my number doesn`t change Because a dirty deed is done. All I need from you And that`s all Regardless of whatever you do And that is what you understand That I`ll never turn my back on you. How are your wife and child? I`m sure your little girl has grown And give them a kiss and smile That`s what my daddy said In a letter very long What kind of man would I be? If I left you in despair (and then he wrote) And I miss your mother, son Cause if she were still alive She`d tell you too You should cut your hair. All I need from you And that`s all Regardless of whatever you do And that is what you realise That I`ll never turn my back on you.
Whatever you do just try to get through to me Remember the time we got drunk on wine by the sea And I laughed when you tried to stagger home by yourself You were stubborn then and you are still stubborn now. All I need from you And that`s all Regardless of whatever you do And that is what you understand That I`ll never turn my back on you.
