Joe Cocker - My Father's Son lyrics

[Joe Cocker - My Father's Son lyrics]

Heart over mind, yes I’m my father's son
I live my life, just like my father's done
If he'd told me
One day that somebody'd have
My heart in chains
Would I believe it, no way
Made up my mind I’d never fall that way

But tell me why
Every time I try, to tell you it's goodbye
I can't seem to let go
In my heart I know I want to stay
What I’m trying to say
Heart over mind, yes I’m my father's son
Yes I’m inclined to do as my father's done

My father's son and I need my life
As my father's done

Here I am with you and I know that it's true
Despite all the feelings you’re
Putting me through
I try to walk away, something makes me stay

Heart over mind, yes I’m my father's son
I live my life, just like my father's done

But tell me why
Every time I try, to tell you it's goodbye
I just can't seem to let go
In my heart, I know I want to stay
Never run away

My father's son
I live my life, as my father's done
If he'd told me, one day
That somebody would have my heart in
Chains would I believe it, no way
Made up my mind, I’d never fall that way
But, it's heart over mind
Yes I’m my father's son
