Lyrics:
I saw her standing there
Tears upon her cheek told me something was wrong
I asked her what it was
She looked away and said my daddy's home.
I knew what that meant
It meant that I could never see her again
I had seen this once before
I didn't wanna deal with it anymore
Look away she said, as she turned to me
And when I tried to hold her, I couldn't let her be
Let her be, Let her be
I said why, why do you make me cry
She said I love you so, Look away I don't wanna know
I saw her standing there
Tears upon her cheek told me something's wrong
I said what baby
she looked away and said my daddy's home
Look away she said, and she turned to me
but darling, oh I loved her, couldn't let her be
Let her be, Let her be
Look away, she said I love you so, Look Away.

Ive lived this, it really does suck to meet some one and not be able to be with them due to others ignorance. It also sucks when people let other ignorance dictate their lives. I understand respecting your family but that shit only goes so far. At the end of the day only you can live your life and you should do so however makes YOU happy.

This is a beautiful riff. This song is so good that I always feel a little disappointed when I remember how short it is.

@Dendito1 its racism her dad is a racist and doesnt like the fact he is black, look up the lyrics and read em they are deep

[Dendito1]

[RLSMEDIASOUTIONS]

Love this song so much..... I listened a million time can some one tell me the basic meaning. Is the girl breaking up ? Is her dad making her break up ? Is it a race thing?

@sabulba30 it is a really really short song......and it's always so wonderful when we hear a group live and they sound every bit as good as they did in the studio!! :)
