My father's calling me No, oh-oh (no, oh-oh) My father's calling me And I can't turn away He wants a word with me But I won't get to speak My father's calling me To tell me I should change He says it's best for me But I don't feel the same My father's calling me And I can't turn away He wants a word with me But I won't get to speak My father's calling me To tell me I should change He says it's best for me But I don't feel the same
