She doesn’t know how to cuddle She doesn’t know how to share Her mind is in a muddle She’s not even aware She sometimes thinks her hearts a stone Her treatment as a child Has left her heart dead and alone So long since it has smiled Not for her, love and kisses Not for her encouragement Love was one of many abysses Like a flower without a scent Spare the rod and spoil the child Was her father’s parental art Make up and nails all filed He thought she was a tart Father why did you do this Father didn’t you care Father tell me this emotional abyss Tell me its not there Father say just once you love me Say just once you regret Not trying to make me happy I’m your daughter who you cosset
