He Wasn't There - Lily Allen

He wasn’t there when I needed him

No, he was never around

His reputation was preceding him

And he was out on the town

It didn’t matter if he let me down

I didn’t care about the lies

Now 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

Oh 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 wouldn’t, but there is no need

No need to apologize

Because I know you’ll always love me very much

You are my hero in disguise

I’m so pleased I never gave up on him

Oh 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’ll always love me very much

I’ll always be your little girl

I’m so pleased I never gave up on him

Oh 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
