The coat she wore still lies upon the bed The book I gave her that she never read She left without a single word to say Her father didn't like me anyway.
She always needed more than I could give She wasn't happy with the way we lived I didn't feel like asking her to stay Her father didn't like me anyway.
Daddy never knew just what she'd seen in me He said I was going nowhere Maybe if we'd talked, he'd have seen something in me But Daddy didn't really care.
To tell the truth I didn't have the nerve I know I only got what I deserved So now she's taken leave of me today Her father didn't like me anyway.
