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 Maybe this time is forever.. Say it can be 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 But something tells me together We'd be happy (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 That's all i wanted But sometimes love can be mistaken For a crime That'sail i wanted Just to see my baby's Blue eyed shine This time i think that my lover Understands me If we have faith in each other Then we can be Strong I will be your father figure Put your tiny hand in mine I will be your preacher teacher Anything you have in mind I will be your father figure I have had enough of crime I will be the one who loves you Until the end of time 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. . 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 It's in your eyes baby, baby And love can't lie. No... (greet me with the eyes of a child) (heaven is a kiss and a smile) Just hold on, hold on I won't let you go, my baby 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 Have had enough of crime So I am gonna love you Until the end of time Will be your father Will be your preacher 'Ii be your daddy Will be the one who loves you until the end of time =================== Basically, the guy is saying that he wants to be someone special in her life: That's all I wanted Something special, something sacred - In your eyes And that this is clearly what she wants too: That's all you wanted Something special, someone sacred - In your life He believes, even though sometimes he has doubts, that they have a future: Sometimes I think that you'll never Understand me But something tells me together We'd be happy So he proposes to her that he should be someone special to her, someone who could take the place of her father, or her priest..whatever she wants ============= personally I would think it a bit creepy if someone said to me that they wanted to be like my father....eeeewwww. It's all a bit pseudo-pedophilic for me.

The way George wrote this song could apply to either a male or female looking up to a father figure. The person he is singing it to would be younger... maybe even considerably younger. Who doesn't want someone strong to look out for them like a daddy?
