You felt alone since you were only seven
Your mother didn't have a clue what to do
You cried each night until you were eleven
Youd pray to God to bring your daddy back to you
it got much worse when you were in high school
From guy to guy you wondered why you never felt a thing
You wondered if you'd ever find a lover
who'd someday get down on his knees holding a diamond ring
the summer's taking me to california
but I won't go until you know that what I say is true
when everything you've ever loved has left you
I'll be there yeah I'll be there for you
