S-sitting down by my window,
Oh, looking at the rain.
S-sitting down by my window now now,
All around I felt it,
All I could see was the rain.
Something grabbed a hold of me, honey,
Felt to me honey like, lord, a ball and chain.
Yeah! hey! you know what I mean,
But itâs way too heavy for you,
You canât hold it tomorrow.
Say, whoa, whoa, honey, it canât be
Just because I got to want your love
Please please please please, whoa please, please.
Whoa, honey it canât be
Just because I got to need you daddy.
Please donât you let me down, no, please, lord!
Here you gone today, but I wanted to love you,
I wanted to hold you, yeah, till the day I die,
Till the day, till the day,
Yeah! hey! hey! all right!
Say, whoa, whoa, honey this canât be
Not anything I ever wanted from you daddy
Tell me now, now, now, now, oh, tell me now, yeah.
I say, whoa, whoa, honey this canât be
No, no, no, no, no, no, no ... yeah yeah, hey!
And I want someone that could tell me, tell me why
Just because I got to want your love
Honey, just because I got to need, need, need your love
I said I donât understand, honey, but I wanna chance to try
Try, try, try, try try try try
Honey when everybody in the world wants the same damn thing
When everybody in the world will need the same lonely thing
When I wanna work for your love, daddy.
When I wanna try for your love, daddy.
I donât understand how come youâre gone, man. I donât understand why half the world is still crying, man, when the other half of the world is still crying too, man, I canât get it together. i
If you got a cat for one day, man ¡º I mean, if you, say, say, if you want a cat for 365 days, right ¡º you ainât got him for 365 days, you got him for one day, man. well I tell you that one da

Tâs all the same fucking day, man.
So you gotta, when you wanna hold a sigh,
You gotta hold him like itâs the last minute in your life, baby.
You gotta hold, whoa, whoa, hold him
