He Wasn't There

He wasn't there when I needed himNo, he was never aroundHis reputation was preceding himAnd he was out on the townIt didn't matter if he let me downI didn't care about the liesNow all I knew was that he loved me very muchHe was my hero in disguise

I'm so pleased I never gave up on himOh well you wouldn't believe some of the things that he didAnd everyone said you have to give him some timeAnd I'm glad that I gave it to him cause now everything's fine

Now you see I never thought you'd be a constant person in my lifeAnd I don't think that you would be if you'd have stayed with your ex-wifeI know you wouldn't but there is no needNo need to apologiseBecause I know you'll always love me very muchYou are my hero in disguise

You might have thought you didn't teach me muchBut you taught me right from wrongAnd it was when you didn't keep in touchWell it taught me to be strongAnd just in case you ever thought I wouldI wouldn't change you for the worldBecause I know you'll always love me very muchI'll always be you're little girl
