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.
