What Your Father Says

[Verse 1:]
Is it a bad time to tell you I love you
When I'm watching you walk away?
Bad time to tell you I need you
When he's made up his mind again.

[Pre-Chorus:]
Don't be cruel to me
All I do is believe.

[Verse 2:]
That it's a bad time to tell you to trust me
When I'm getting my story straight
A bad time to kick up a fuss
When it's only ever me to blame
You're confused about me.

[Pre-Chorus:]
(All the rumours getting through
'Cause he heard that I'm bad news, oh baby)

[Chorus:]
Forget what your father says
I'm throwing stones at your window, babe
'Cause a boy like me and a girl like you
Got no degrees and a lot to prove
Says that you're wrong for me
Forget what your father says.

[Verse 3:]
Is it the good times, sneak in the back door
When your dad's at work all day?
A good time to lean in and kiss you
When he's not up in your face.

[Pre-Chorus:]
You're confused about me
All the rumours getting through
'Cause he heard that I'm bad news, oh baby.

[Chorus:]
Forget what your father says
I'm throwing stones at your window, babe
'Cause a boy like me and a girl like you
Got no degrees and a lot to prove
Says that you're wrong for me
Forget what your father says.

[Bridge:]
Told me he don't like my hair, he don't like my music
Told me that I better run otherwise he'll lose it
And if I want his daughters love I better start praying
So all that I keep saying to her.

[Chorus:]
Forget what your father says
I'm throwing stones at your window, babe
'Cause a boy like me and a girl like you
Got no degrees and a lot to prove
Says that you're wrong for me.

Forget what your father says
I'm throwing stones at your window, babe
'Cause a boy like me and a girl like you
Got no degrees and a lot to prove
Says that you're wrong for me
Forget what your father says
Forget what your father says
Forget what your father says.
