Father

[Verse 1]
I'll tell you the truth, I'll tell you the truth
Father, I'll tell you the truth
He has of late made many tenders
Of his affection to me

[Chorus]
But I don't know, father, what I should think
I don't know, father, if I should believe
I don't know, father, what I should think
I don't know if I should believe

[Verse 2]
Spend a little less time with him
Talk a little less to him
Make yourself precious
Don't believe it all from him
Don't waste any more time with him
Your prince is dangerous

[Chorus]
But I don't know, father, what I should think
I don't know, father, if I should believe
I don't know, father, what I should think
I don't know if I should believe

[Verse 3]
Father, he has importuned me
With love in an honorable way
And has given contenance to his speech
My lord, with the holiest vows

These vows are traps for stupid birds, girl
Springes to catch woodcocks
When a man is on fire
He'll swear anything

When a heart is on fire it gives out
More light than heat

[Chorus]
But I don't know, father, what I should think
I don't know, father, if I should believe
I don't know, father, what I should think
I don't know
I want to believe
