Her Father Didn't Like Me Anyway
Gerry Rafferty

Humblebums (classic acoustic) version

The coat she wore still lies upon the bed
The book I gave her that she never read
She left without a single word to say
Her father didn€™t like me anyway.

She always wanted more than I could give
She wasn€™t happy with the way we lived
I didn€™t feel like asking her to stay
Her father didn€™t like me anyway.

Daddy never knew just what she€™d seen in me
Daddy didn€™t like my hair
Perhaps if we had talked, he€™d have seen something in me
But Daddy didn€™t really care.

To tell the truth I didn€™t have the nerve
I know I only got what I deserved
So now she€™s taken leave of me today
Her father didn€™t like me anyway.

Daddy never knew just what she€™d seen in me
Daddy didn€™t like my hair
Perhaps if we had talked, he€™d have seen something in me
But Daddy didn€™t really care.

The coat she wore still lies upon the bed
The book I gave her that she never read
She left without a single word to say
Her father didn€™t like me anyway.

Over My Head version

The coat she wore still lies upon the bed
The book I gave her that she never read
She left without a single word to say
Her father didn€™t like me anyway.

She always needed more than I could give
She wasn€™t happy with the way we lived
I didn€™t feel like asking her to stay
Her father didn€™t like me anyway.

Daddy never knew just what she€™d seen in me
He said I was going nowhere
Maybe if we€™d talked, he€™d have seen something in me
But Daddy didn€™t really care.

To tell the truth I didn€™t have the nerve
I know I only got what I deserved
So now she€™s taken leave of me today
Her father didn€™t like me anyway.
