Her Father Didn't Like Me Anyway Lyrics - Gerry Rafferty

Humblebums (classic acoustic) version 

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 wanted 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 

Daddy didn't like my hair 

Perhaps if we had 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. 

Daddy never knew just what she'd seen in me 

Daddy didn't like my hair 

Perhaps if we had talked, he'd have seen something in me 

But Daddy didn't really care. 

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.

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.
