That’s all I wanted
Something special, something sacred
In your eyes
For just one moment
To be bold and naked
At your side

Sometimes I think that you’ll never
Understand me (understand me)
Maybe this time is forever
Say it can be, whoa

That’s all you wanted
Something special, someone sacred
In your life
Just for one moment
To be warm and naked
At my side

Sometimes I think that you’ll never
Understand me (understand me)
But something tells me together
We’d be happy, whoa

Baby (I will be your father figure)
Oh, baby (put your tiny hand in mine)
I’d love to (I will be your preacher, teacher)
Be your daddy (anything you have in mind)
It would make me very happy (I have had enough of crime)
Please, let me (I will be the one who loves you)
‘Til the end of time

That’s all I wanted
But sometimes love can be mistaken
For a crime
That’s all I wanted
Just to see my baby’s
Blue-eyed shine

This time I think that my lover
Understands me (understands me)
If we have faith in each other
Then we can be strong, baby

Baby (I will be your father figure)
Oh, baby (put your tiny hand in mine)
I’d love to (I will be your preacher, teacher)
Be your daddy (anything you have in mind)
It would make me very happy (I have had enough of crime)
Please, let me (I will be the one who loves you)
‘Til the end of time

If you are the desert, I’ll be the sea
If you ever hunger, hunger for me
Whatever you ask for, that’s what I’ll be

So when you remember the ones who have lied
Who said that they cared
But then laughed as you cried
Beautiful darling
Don’t think of me
Because all I ever wanted
It’s in your eyes
Baby, baby
And love can’t lie, no

(Greet me with the eyes of a child)
My love is always telling me so
(Heaven is a kiss and a smile)
Just hold on, hold on
And I won’t let you go, my baby

Baby (I will be your father figure)
Oh, baby (put your tiny hand in mine)
I’d love to (I will be your preacher, teacher)
Be your daddy (anything you have in mind)
It would make me very happy (I have had enough of crime)
Please, let me (I will be the one who loves you)
‘Til the end of time

I will be your (I will be your preacher)
Father (I will be your father)
I’ll be your daddy, whoa!
I will be the one who loves you
‘Til the end of time
