Extreme

Oh daddy, please
Take me with you where you goin'?
Oh daddy, please
Come find the time, come watch us growin'
Oh daddy, please
Don't leave there's so much that we want to know before you go

Well I'm in need of someone to tie my shoes
Or take hold of my hand when I become afraid
And whose footsteps will I follow into
Daddy please
Don't run away

Our father
Far father
Our father
Far farther away

Oh daddy, please
I pray every night the doors will open
Oh daddy, please
This house is just a broken home
Left all alone

Well I'm in need of someone to tie my shoes
Or take hold of my hand when I become afraid
And whose footsteps will I follow into
Daddy please
Don't run away

Our father
Far father
Let me tell you 'bout
Our father
Far farther away

Oh daddy, no
Oh daddy, no
Don't run away, yea

And whose footsteps will I follow into
Daddy please
Don't you hear me
Don't run away

Our father
Far father
Lets talk 'bout
Our father
Yea, yea
Far father
Yea, I know what I'm talkin' 'bout
Our father
Far farther away
Far father

Extreme is an American rock band, currently headed by frontman Gary Cherone and guitarist Nuno Bettencourt. The band reached the height of their popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s with original line-up Gary Cherone, Nuno Bettencourt, Paul Geary and Patrick Badger.

Among some of Extreme’s musical influences are Van Halen, Queen, Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin. The band played at The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in 1992. Geary left the group in 1994 to form an artist management company, and Cherone joined Van Halen in 1996. The band has described their music as “funky metal” in the early days, but it would evolve much more in the mid-1990s by blending classic rock influences with post-grunge and alternative rock.

They have released five studio albums, two EPs (in Japan) and two compilation albums since their formation. The band was one of the most successful rock acts of the early 1990s, selling over 10 million albums worldwide. Extreme achieved their greatest success with their 1990 album Pornograffitti, which peaked at number 10 on the Billboard 200, and was certified gold in May 1991 and double platinum in October 1992. That album featured the acoustic ballad single “More Than Words”, which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States.
