Lyrics for Daddy's Eyes as interpreted by foldsbaldwin

Daddy's Eyes Lyrics
I'll tell you what you wanna know
But boy, you better listen close.
People gonna tell you lies
Don't let it comes as a surprise.
That woman's on my back again.
I know she's got the best intention
When you began to relize
You know, got your daddy's eyes.

And there's something I wanna say:
I love her too.
And all of this has got nothing to do with you.
And I'd like to stay but I can't because I've been fooling around
And I know that you called because you never even knew that it was hurting me
When you put it on the other hand.
You're old enough to understand
That glove will bring it all the light
I didn't say that made it right.

That woman's on my back again.
I know she's got the best intention
When you began to relize
You know, got your daddy's eyes.

And theres something I wanna say:
I love her too.
And all of this has got nothing to do with you.

And I'd like to stay but I can't because I've been fooling around
And I know that you called because you never even knew that it was hurting me

And I'd like to stay but I can't because I've been fooling around
And I know that you called because you never even knew that it was hurting me

Sometimes we forget time,
And I woke up a little too late tp lie
And dreams should last a long time
This is not what I'd call goodbye

And I'd like to stay but I can't because I've been fooling around
And I know that you called because you never even knew that it was hurting me

And I'd like to stay but I can't because I've been fooling around
And I know that you called because you never even knew that it was hurting me
Me...

I love her too...

It can be found with a special version of Sam's Town...which can be bought at Best Buy...and probably other places. This comes on a seperate CD with All The Pretty Faces also.

Gotcha. Yeah, I've heard it now and it's probably the best song EVER, ha. I think this song is from the perspective of an adultery dad explaining the situation to his son. That's what I got, anyway.

he said in an interview about a year ago that he just thinks of different senarios and writes about them, but then some of these songa are autobiographical, like andy, and all these things, but some like this are made up, and some are based on real events like uncle jonny, and where is she

I think it says, " that glove will bring to life." this song is obviously about him leaving someone because she found out that he's been playing around.

i get the impression that this is in the view of a father who is in love with his sons girl. And i think the girl likes playing them both.
weird? yes..

Hey, I think it's "that glove will bring it all to light" because light rhymes with right. It reminds me of OJ Simpson" if the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit!" Anyways... the deepness of his voice in the song=super sexy.

"Sometimes we forget time,
And I woke up a little too late tonight

At this part the same synthetic sounds from 'This River is Wild' are played....or at least they sound a lot alike.

Oh, and this is what it sounds like:


And I'd like to stay but I can't because I've been fooling around
And I know that you called because you never even knew that it was hurting me


Instead of "you told me cause you never even..."

But the "told me cause" makes more sense than "called because", so I'm not sure.

Those lyrics are wrong. It's

Sometimes people get tired.
And I woke up a little too late to lie.
Dreams should last a long time
This is not what I'd call goodbye

(By the way, the guitar riff here is almost identical to that in This River is Wild. Pop trivia. :) )

k well i think that this song is about his so called afffair with rufas wainwright! if u listen to the words its quite scarily true! and daddys eyes refers to rufas' father who was also a famous singer!loudan wainwright!
the wer romantically linked and rufas has a song written about brandon too! he said they had a "special connection"
dear god brandon please only be bi! dont break my heart!

this sounds very much like it's about divorce and he's explaining to his kid why he's leaving. he tells him that he's been fooling around and that that's the reason he's leaving not because of the kid. i think he's also trying to convince him that he still loves his mum.

That glove will bring it all to life
I didn't say that made it right.

Cause that woman's on my back again.
I know she's got the best intentions

And I'd like to stay but I can't because I've been fooling around
And I know that you're cold because you never even knew that it was hurting me
Me...

I love her too...
