Lyrics:

He wasn't there when I needed him
No, he was never around
His reputation was preceiving him
And he was out on the town
It didn't matter if he let me down
I didn't care about the lies
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
And 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 waited but there is no need, no need to apologize
Because I know you always loved me very much.
You are my hero in disguise.

I'm so pleased I never gave up on him
And 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 always loved me very much.
I'll always be your little girl.

I'm so pleased I never gave up on him
And 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.
