Oh Father by Madonna


I actually sang this song for my senior recital when I was in High School. I don't think I was anywhere near the maturity level that I am now and I almost wish I didn't put my father in the position to hear it in front of everyone else there. That said however, I had felt and still do that once I had become a junior in high school that I was out from underneath the fear of him. There was another incident on Halloween after I graduated, but I have since then stood my ground and in the process my father says that I helped him and he thanked me for it. I love my father and we have a wonderful relationship now.

I in no way lay claims to the words below and thank the artist for their inspiration.



It's funny that way, you can get used
To the tears and the pain
What a child will believe
You never loved me

You can't hurt me now
I got away from you, I never thought I would
You can't make me cry, you once had the power
I never felt so good about myself

Seems like yesterday
I lay down next to your boots and I prayed
For your anger to end
Oh Father I have sinned

You can't hurt me now
I got away from you, I never thought I would
You can't make me cry, you once had the power
I never felt so good about myself

Oh Father you never wanted to live that way
You never wanted to hurt me
Why am I running away
[repeat]

Maybe someday
When I look back I'll be able to say
You didn't mean to be cruel
Somebody hurt you too

You can't hurt me now
I got away from you, I never thought I would
You can't make me cry, you once had the power
I never felt so good about myself
