Girl I sing this song for you
For all the miseries I've dragged you through
For the moods I can't explain
For the sunny days I've spoiled with rain
Please forgive me if you can
Girl, you know that I'm a troubled man
Girl, you know that I'm a troubled man

Child, I sing this verse for you
For the duties that I've failed to do
For the times I wasn't there
Times like broken toys, beyond repair
Please forgive me if you can
Child, your daddy was a troubled man
Child, your daddy is a troubled man

Yeah, yeah yeah, woo-ooo

God in heaven, heed my plight
On my darkness shed eternal light
I am weak, so weak, you are strong
I can't count the times that I've done wrong
Please forgive me if you can
Lord, you know that I'm a troubled man
Lord, you know that I'm a troubled man
