Sympathy For The Devil lyrics
by Tess
[Verse One: Emilio Rojas]
First love, I know you haven't forgiven me
For all the women I seen up in the Philippines
When I'm unzippin' jeans, living like a Liba-Teen
Leavin' you and the kids at home alone, missin' me
I wasn't ready for all them responsibilities
Or them long nights in them hotels, it was killin' me
But growin' up, I saw my own father cheatin'
And my mama cryin' so the cycle has repeated
I know my son, he understands why I'm leavin'
And I feel bad lyin', sayin' that I'm gonna see him
But his sister's too young to get my reasons
Or wrap her head around all the sh*t that she was seein'
But I was broke so I never threw a dollar in
I disappeared, I knew that you would provide for them
I wasn't fair, I wasn't there for guidin' them
But I just wasn't ready to be a father yet, I'm sorry
[Verse Two: Emilio Rojas]
My first daughter, you're beautiful with your mother's eyes
I'm sorry I wasn't there to sing you lullabies
I'm sorry I never shared with you this other side of me
But it was hard, I lived a double life
I took another wife, I gave you a sister
But I was never there enough to claim that I missed her
And it was never fair to her the way that I did her
And left you both without a father for the sake of my mistress
I'm in Caracas, you blossomed and now you such a gem
The only thing that I taught you was not to trust in men
And now you single and hostile and I been wonderin'
If I could be the reason that you not wantin' the other sex
I wasn't ready for fatherhood, I'll admit it
But everything I did, I promise you, I regret it
Wish I could be the one you walk into at your wedding
I'm a coward, I won't ask for forgiveness but I'm sorry
