Dear Ol' Dad Lyrics - Blind Melon - Blind Melon

Come now, listen babe 

I gotta reason why I behave 

Like a child with a light in eyes 

Runnin' naked on a cold and winter night 

I am like a pigeon that is spreadin' 

It's wings to fly away to better things 

Like a hammer that has made 

A dent in every little single cent you've spent 

Said, "Oh God you've got to help me a little bit 

You've got, you've go to have a relief file for me" 

Now I know I'm always right 

That's a thought that never even crossed my mind 

Don't touch me there, I've gotta be pure 

So smack that hand, and read this verse 

So I wrecked your life, what the heck 

My new found faith will pay by check 

This life's took a toll on my soul, oh yeah 

This life's took a toll on my soul 

This is me and that's my song 

And I guess you can see we don't get along 

I've shut the doors on what we had 

So now she can sleep with dear old dad 

My eyes are dry and my hands are clean 

And I can't believe all the things I've seen 

Said, "Oh God you've got to help me a little bit 

You've got, you've go to have a relief file for me" 

I said, "Oh my God"
