I’m Still Your Dad

[Lily]

By Pedro R. Santos

You’re treating me
Like an ordinary man
Neglecting to acknowledge
That I am your dad

You can kick me, you can hate me
You can do all you want
It doesn’t matter much
I’m still your dad!

I have suffered a lot
I can’t deny that
Why d’you do it, baby?
I’m still your dad!

I have raged at the night
I have cried I am sad
This is killing me, honest!
‘cause I’m still your dad!

It burns, it hurts, it eats my insides
It stings, it cuts, it’s so bad!
I have a relief, though
I’m still your dad!
