Sit down son and hear me out
There's something we should talk about
And before your humble heart can disagree
Know I've seen some things you've yet to see
So if I was you I'd walk away
And I'd spend my love in different ways
Don't worry 'bout nobody else
Go feel some things you've never felt

Dad, why can't you understand?
It's her hand I wanna hold

It's funny how we both want the same things
But still we just can't seem to agree
It's not that I don't get what you're sayin'
I just wish you could be happy for me

You're tryna clear this future out my head
So I can follow your footsteps
Don't leave me in between the two
'Cause if it's blood or water I can't choose

Dad, why can't you understand
That I'll never let her go?

It's funny how we both want the same things
But still we just can't seem to agree
It's not that I don't get what you're sayin'
I just wish you could be happy for me
I wish you could be happy for me
I just wish you could be happy for me
I wish you could be happy for me

And it's funny how whenever we're talking
Your mind's made up before I can speak
But if I could ask you for one thing, and I just

Wish you could be happy for me, oh no
I wish you could be happy for me (just be happy for me)
I wish you could be happy for me (just be happy for me)
I wish you could be happy for me
