Lyrics “You Never Loved Him” by Freddie McClendon

Another episode has come and gone– American Idol Snapshot – Freddie Wows, Desmond Prays, and Lola Goes to Hollywood? –Probably the most emotional backstory to a song I’ve ever heard on American Idol, here are the lyrics to Freddie McClendon’s song about his father, called “You Never Loved Him.”

---

Mother′s child
Born to while away the hours
Born to wear around her smile
The way that carried him

Father’s child
Loved his family with the pride
He could laugh and he could cry
The way his daddy did
And I know that he would be right by my side

So I hope that you loved him
I hope that you loved him
I hope that you loved him
Like his daughters did

I never got to see him one last time
We never got to tell him goodbye
We never got the chance to even try
To warn him that you had lost your mind
Your mind

Cause you never loved him
You never loved him
You never loved him
Like we did
