That's all I wanted, something special
Something sacred in your eyes
For just one moment, to be bold and
Naked at your side

Sometimes I think that you'll never understand me (understand me)
Maybe this time is forever, say it can't be, whoa

That's all you wanted, something special
Someone sacred in your life
Just for one moment, to be warm and
Naked at my side

Sometimes I think that you'll never understand me (understand me)
But, something tells me, together, we'd be happy

I will be your father figure (oh, baby)
Put your tiny hand in mine (I'd love to)
I will be your preacher teacher (be your daddy)
Anything you have in mind (it would make me)
I will be your father figure (very happy)
I have had enough of crime (please let me)
I will be the one who loves you
'Til the end of time (time)

That's all I wanted
But, sometimes love can be mistaken for a crime
That's all I wanted
Just to see my baby's blue eyes shine
This time I think that my lover understands me
If we have faith in each other
Then we can be strong

I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine
I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind
I will be your father figure
I have had enough of crime
I will be the one who loves you
'Til the end of time

If you are the desert, I'll be the sea
If you ever hunger, hunger for me
Whatever you ask for, that's what I'll be

So when you remember the ones who have lied
Who said that they cared
But, then laughed as you cried
Beautiful darling, don't think of me
Because all I ever wanted

It's in your eyes (baby, baby)
And love can't lie, no
(Greet me with the eyes of a child)
My love is always telling me so
(Heaven is a kiss and a smile)
Just hold on, hold on
I won't let you go, my baby

I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine
I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind
I will be your father figure
I have had enough of crime
So I am gonna love you
'Til the end of time
I will be your father (I will be your)
I will be your preacher
I'll be your daddy (I'll be your daddy)
I will be the one who loves you
'Til the end of time
