Chaka Khan
Father He Said
Father's waiting 'round the corner
Ticket in his hand
Wants to help his daughter
Protect and understand
Daughter's needing some security
The comfort of a man
Can't face the pain of losing
She's afraid to love again
Searching for her father's words
She remembered

My father he said, "don't be misled."
My father he said, "is heart in your hands?"

(Way far, far away)
Daughter's feelin' kinda shaky
Heartache and trouble everywhere
There ain't no love she's looking
For someone who cares
Searching for her father's words
She remembered

My father he said, "don't be misled."
My father he said, "is heart in your hands?"

(Take the train far, cooling down)
Daughter's waiting at the station
Got a ticket in her hand
Bound for her destination
She'll try to love again
Searching for her father's words
She remembered
My father he said, "don't be misled."
My father he said, "is heart in your hands?"

Father, father, father

My father he said, "don't be misled."
My father he said, "is heart in your hands?"

Father, father, father he said...
