Gerry Rafferty

her father didn't like me anyway

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 didnââ?¬â?¢t like me anyway.

She always wanted more than I could give
She wasnââ?¬â?¢t happy with the way we lived
I didnââ?¬â?¢t feel like asking her to stay
Her father didnââ?¬â?¢t like me anyway.

Daddy never knew just what sheââ?¬â?¢d seen in me
Daddy didnââ?¬â?¢t like my hair
Perhaps if we had talked, heââ?¬â?¢d have seen something in me
But Daddy didnââ?¬â?¢t really care.

To tell the truth I didnââ?¬â?¢t have the nerve
I know I only got what I deserved
So now sheââ?¬â?¢s taken leave of me today
Her father didnââ?¬â?¢t like me anyway.

Daddy never knew just what sheââ?¬â?¢d seen in me
Daddy didnââ?¬â?¢t like my hair
Perhaps if we had talked, heââ?¬â?¢d have seen something in me
But Daddy didnââ?¬â?¢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 didnââ?¬â?¢t like me anyway.

Over My Head 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 didnââ?¬â?¢t like me anyway.

She always needed more than I could give
She wasnââ?¬â?¢t happy with the way we lived
I didnââ?¬â?¢t feel like asking her to stay
Her father didnââ?¬â?¢t like me anyway.

Daddy never knew just what sheââ?¬â?¢d seen in me
He said I was going nowhere
Maybe if weââ?¬â?¢d talked, heââ?¬â?¢d have seen something in me
But Daddy didnââ?¬â?¢t really care.

To tell the truth I didnââ?¬â?¢t have the nerve
I know I only got what I deserved
So now sheââ?¬â?¢s taken leave of me today
Her father didnââ?¬â?¢t like me anyway.
