Didn't I Lyrics - Rod Stewart

There are times to remember and times that I wish to forget 

Our time together was tinged with love and regret 

Oh my girl, my sweet, sweet little girl 

Didn't I try to tell ya 

That life was for living 

Oh, didn't i? 

And wasn't I the guy who said 

Stay away from that tribe 

Oh, wasn't it? 

And didn't I try to tell ya 

That stuff's gonna kill ya 

Oh, didn't i? 

But you thought it was cool 

And I was just an old fool 

Oh, look at ya

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

You left home for the city with Hollywood stars in your eyes 

Now your mother God bless her cries herself to sleep every night 

Oh my girl, my sweet, innocent girl 

Didn't I search the streets 

For the biggest [?] and cheese 

Oh, didn't i? 

And didn't I try to guide ya 

To a baptism of fire 

Oh, didn't i? 

And didn't I try to warn ya 

Bout that folk in California 

Oh, didn't i? 

But you said daddy, please, don't worry 

I got friends out there who love me 

Now look at ya 

Oh baby come back home, we can work this out 

There is not blame 

I wanna hold you close and stroke your hair 

And share your pain, yeah 

Didn't I do the best for you 

Try to make you stay in school 

Didn't i? 

Once I was your hero 

But I went from 10 to 0 

Oh, didn't i? 

For a roll on the dice 

To really pay the ultimate price 

Oh, didn't ya? 

Now I stand by your bedside 

Watching you fight for your life 

Where's the innocence? 

Where's the future? 

Where's the beauty? 

Where's the promise? 

There are times to remember 

And times that I wish to forget
