Lyrics
Roderick:
That's all I wanted
Something special, something sacred in your eyes
For just one moment
To be bold and naked at your side
Sometimes I think that you'll never
Understand me
New Directions:
Understand me
Understand me
Understand me
Roderick:
Maybe this time is forever
Say it can be, woah
That's all you wanted
Something special, someone sacred in your life
Just for one moment
To be warm and naked at my side
Sometimes I think that you'll never
Understand me
New Directions:
Understand me
Understand me
Understand me
Roderick:
But something tells me together
We'd be happy, woah
New Directions (Roderick):
(Baby) I will be your father figure
(Oh, baby) Put your tiny hand in mine
(I'd love to) I will be your preacher teacher
(Be your daddy) Anything you have in mind
(It would make me) I will be your father figure
(Very happy) I have had enough of crime
(Please let me) I will be the one who loves you
Until the end of time (Til the end of time)
Roderick:
That's all I wanted
But sometimes love can be mistaken for a crime
That's all I wanted
Just to see my baby's blue eyed shine
This time I think that my lover
Understands me
New Directions:
Understand me
Understand me
Understand me
Roderick:
If we have faith in each other then we can be strong
New Directions (Roderick):
(Baby) I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine
(My baby) I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind
(Hee) I will be your father figure
I have had enough of crime
(Baby) I will be the one who loves you
Until the end of time (Til the end of time)
Roderick (with New Directions):
If you are the desert, I'll be the sea
If you ever hunger, hunger for me
(Whatever you ask for), that's what I'll be
New Directions:
That's what I'll be
That's what I'll be
Roderick (with New Directions):
So when you remember the ones who have lied
Who said that they cared but then laughed as you cried
Beautiful darling
Don't think of me
(Because all I ever) wanted
New Directions (and Roderick):
I will be your father figure
(Put your tiny hand in mine)
I will be your preacher teacher
(Anything you have in mind)
Will be your father figure
Roderick with New Directions:
And I have had enough of crime
So I will be the one who loves you
Until the end of time
New Directions (Roderick):
I will be your father (I will be your)
I will be your preacher (Father)
I will be your father (I will be your daddy)
Roderick (with New Directions)
(I will be the one who loves you)
Til the (end of time)
