Lyrics Father He Said - Chaka Khan

Father's waiting 'round the corner
Ticket in his hand
Wants to help his daughter
Protect and understand

Daughter's needing some security
The comfort of a man
Can't face the pain of losing
She's afraid to love again

Searching for her father's words
She remembered
My father, he said: "Don't be misled"
My father, he said: "It's your heart in your hands"

(Away, far, far away)
Daughter's feelin' kinda shaky
Heartache and trouble everywhere
There ain't no love, she's looking
For someone who cares

Searching for her father's words
She remembered
My father, he said: "Don't be misled"
My father, he said: "It's your heart in your hands", yeah, yeah, yeah

(Take the train far, cooling down)
Daughter's waiting at the station
Got a ticket in her hand
Bound for her destination
She'll try to love again

Searching for her father's words
She remembers
My father, he said: "Baby, don't be misled"
My father, he said: "It's your heart in your hands"

Father, father, father
Father, he said: "Don't be misled"
Father, he said: "It's your heart in your hands"
Father, father, father, he said...
