It's My Father You Were After

When I first cried all night for you
That's when I guess I thought I knew
That you were set on deceiving me
But, oh my pet, don't think of leaving me
To you the choice was either wealth or youth
Why pick on someone who's so long in the tooth?

     It's my father you were after
     I should have known
     It's my father you were after
     Leave him alone
     It's my father you were after
     And I am left here with your mother

My stupid grey-haired fat old man
Won't give you half the love I can
And so I'm really wishing luck on you
I hope he's never really stuck on you
And so I'm left with your poor aged mum
I think I'm gonna have a lot of fun

     It's my father you were after
     Oh tell me why
     It's my father you were after
     I'm gonna cry
     It's my father you were after
     And I am left here with your mother
