Paul Gordon - I'm A Beast lyrics

[Jerusha Abbott] You never answer any of my questions You never show the slightest bit of interest In my life, in my letters or my feelings You are not the man that you appear to be And I don't know a single thing about you Not your name, nor your face nor your family Do you care if I'm living or I'm breathing? Do you dare to toss it all away? Every word I say? Just because you pay for me? Are they for me? I'm a beast I'm a burden, Daddy Please forgive what I said I was mean I was mad Oh, but, Daddy I'm no good at being bad I was hurt I was wounded, Daddy I believed you didn't care Oh, I cried all night long Oh, but, Daddy I'm so happy being wrong I thought I imagined you, Daddy And now I know your technique You don't have to answer my letters If you burn the one I sent last week You are real You're a person, Daddy And I pledge with all my heart I will make a success Oh, 'cause, Daddy I'm unhappy being less Daddy I want so much To impress
