| 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 |
