Joan Armatrading - Father Figure lyrics

[Verse 1] Give me love that's unconditional And I'll cherish your name Give me all that you could bear to part with And I'll give you the same [Pre-Chorus] I've been running in the darkness so long Tryna rewind the past Who'd have known it was so hard to move on? From a love that I never had? [Chorus] I just need your tender embrace Be my father figure Help me to remember your face Be my father figure My father figure [Verse 2] Give me shelter and relieve my pain I've been hurting too long Teach me how I'm meant to love again Show me how to be strong [Pre-Chorus] I've been running in the darkness so long Tryna rewind the past Who'd have known it was so hard to move on? From a love that I never had? [Chorus] I just need your tender embrace Be my father figure Help me to remember your face Be my father figure My father figure I just need your tender embrace Be my father figure Help me to remember your face Be my father figure My father figure [Outro] Give me love, give me love Give me love, give me love Give me love, give me love Give me love, give me love
