That's What She Said

Paul Weller

Ah, baby, look how big you grown
Been a long time since I've been back home
I'm sorry that I wasn't there to ever help you out
Now, I've come back to try to see if I can ever make it right

Oh, daddy
Oh, where were you
When I needed new shoes
Someone to walk me to school?

That's when she said, "I never want to see your face again."
That's what she said to me
Don't let me catch you 'round these ends again

That's when it hit me
I can tell you
Though I deserved
Every word
That was a pain I won't get over
To know that I'd hurt her so

You see, sometimes, you can leave it too long
And you can't come around to what you made so wrong
You never had the time before
So, why would you need more?

That's when she said, "I never want to see you 'round here no more."

All of my life's been an illusion
In and out high
Committed a pain she can't get over
I can feel it, when I looked in her eyes
