My Father Knows Best Lyrics - Singles - Tina Marie

MY FATHER KNOWS BEST 

WORDS & MUSIC BY: (c) Susan Peters 1990 

(VERSE 1) 

I STUMBLE LIKE A CHILD 

IF EVER IT'S NOT BY MY FATHER'S HAND I'M LEAD 

ANXIOUS TO RUN WHEN THE NEW DAY COMES 

TO SEE WHAT'S WAITING UP AHEAD 

HE SAID, DON'T RUN AWAY, BUT I DISOBEYED 

ONLY COME BACK IN SOILED REGRET 

HE NEVER SAID, "I TOLD YOU SO", 

HE KNEW I HURT ENOUGH TO KNOW 

MY FATHER KNOWS BEST! 

(CHORUS) 

YOUR LOVE'S TOO GREAT TO STAND IN THE WAY 

EVERY TIME I TAKE THE CHANCE TO RUN 

NO MATTER WHERE I TURNED 

YOU KNEW THE LESSONS I LEARNED 

BRING ME BACK TO WHERE I STARTED FROM... 

YEARS HAVE PASSED ME BY, 

BUT STILL I WONDER WHY 

YOU LET ME PUT YOU TO THE TEST 

A LITTLE BOY CALLOUSED & BRUISED 

TRYIN' TO WALK IN DADDY'S SHOES 

MY FATHER KNOWS BEST! 

(VERSE 2) 

I NEVER WILL OUTGROW MY NEED TO HOLD 

THOSE TENDER HANDS THAT GAVE ME LIFE 

IF EVER MY HEART'S BROKEN, I KNOW THE DOOR IS OPEN 

TO LOVE ME THROUGH IT EVERY TIME. 

I WANNA' HIDE THE STAINS OF THE MISTAKES I MADE 

COVER OVER ALL OF MY VAIN REGRETS 

BUT I NEVER COULD HIDE THE SCARS 

THAT YOU TURNED INTO STARS 

MY FATHER KNOWS BEST!
