lily allen - he wasn't there (album version)

He wasn't there when I needed him
No, he was never around
His reputation was preceding him
And he was out on the town
It didn't matter if he let me down
I didn't care about the lies
Now all I knew was that he loved me very much
He was my hero in disguise

I'm so pleased I never gave up on him
Oh well you wouldn't believe some of the things that he did
And everyone said you have to give him some time
And I'm glad that I gave it to him cause now everything's fine

Now you see I never thought you’d be a constant person in my life
And I don't think that you would be if you’d have stayed with your ex wife
I know you wouldn't but there is no need
No need to apologise
Because I know you'll always love me very much
You are my hero in disguise

I'm so pleased I never gave up on him
Oh well you wouldn't believe some of the things that he did
And everyone said you have to give him some time
And I'm glad that I gave it to him cause now everything's fine

You might have thought you didn't teach me much
But you taught me right from wrong
And it was when you didn't keep in touch
Well it taught me to be strong
And just in case you ever thought I would
I wouldn't change you for the world
Because I know you'll always love me very much
I'll always be you're little girl

I'm so pleased I never gave up on him
Oh well you wouldn't believe some of the things that he did
And everyone said you have to give him some time
And I'm glad that I gave it to him cause now everything's fine

@chellachica911bitch Firstly, your youtube name says it all. Secondly, it's about her father. Why would she talk about an ex wife and being taught right from wrong, let alone calling herself his little girl!? I don't think she dated a creepy older guy twice her age. Why so insulting by the way? You start to sound contradicting and ironic when you misspell words insulting other people's intelligence. That is all. :)

This song gives me hope that one day me and my dad will one day have a second chance. I hope he comes back into my life... :(

@chellachica911bitch oh just go screw urself

[CaraRowen]

Exactly. I understand this song so well now. My father's back in my life now, and I'm glad I never gave up. I'm glad I never hated him. I'm glad that we have this second chance. Thumbs up to everyone else who got their second chance too.

Fantastic!Delicious!I've just fallen in love with this light and different music. I was driving today and the traffic was terrible.Then,on the radio,I listened to this song for my first time. Incredible. It looks like something from the 50's.I've already known Lily"s other songs.Some of them became a little popular because they played in soap operas here in Brazil.I lost a lot of time, because Lily Allen is really a great artist and a delicious singer.We need songs like this: pure inspiration!

I kinda like her version that she sang on SIRIUS XM better, it sounds cleaner. Search it if you haven't seen it.
