Blind Melon — Dear Ol Dad

[Verse 1] Come now, and listen babe I gotta reason why I behave Like a child with the light in his eyes Running naked on a cold winter night I'm like a pigeon that's spreading its wings To fly away to better things Like a hammer that has made a dent In every little, single cent you've spent [Chorus] Said, oh God, you've got to help me, a little bit You've got, you've gotta have a relief file for me, yeah [Verse 2] Now, I know I'm always right That's a thought that never even crossed my mind Don't touch me there, I 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 that check [Bridge] This life's took a toll on my soul This life's took a toll on my soul [Solo] [Verse 3] So, 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 ol' dad My eyes are dry and my hands are clean And I can't believe all the things I've seen [Chorus] Said, oh God, you've got to help me, a little bit You've got, you've gotta have a relief file for me, yeah I said, oh my God I, I Said, I'm gonna keep the dog
