Father He Said - Chaka Khan

Father’s waiting 'round the corner

Ticket in his hand

Wants to help his daughter

Protect and understand

Daughter’s needing some security

The comfort of a man

Can’t face the pain of losing

She’s afraid to love again

Searching for her father’s words

She remembered

My father he said, «don't be misled.»

My father he said, «is heart in your hands?»

(Way far, far away)

Daughter’s feelin' kinda shaky

Heartache and trouble everywhere

There ain’t no love she’s looking

For someone who cares

Searching for her father’s words

She remembered

My father he said, «don't be misled.»

My father he said, «is heart in your hands?»

(Take the train far, cooling down)

Daughter’s waiting at the station

Got a ticket in her hand

Bound for her destination

She’ll try to love again

Searching for her father’s words

She remembered

My father he said, «don't be misled.»

My father he said, «is heart in your hands?»

Father, father, father

My father he said, «don't be misled.»

My father he said, «is heart in your hands?»

Father, father, father he said…
