Genma's Song

No one believes me,
Not a word I say,
Not one little syllable,
Not a single one each day.

I know what happened,
I know the truth,
I even told Nodoka,
I was in a telephone booth.

She told me she believed me,
She said it was true,
She then followed me,
To the Tendou's, it's true.

I never meant for Ranma,
To ever be that way,
Never meant to happen,
It was only teaching, I may,

Never be believed,
Never again, I'm sad,
I'll never be remembered,
That makes me mad.

I wanted only the best,
For my son, Ranma and I,
I never wanted this curse,
It makes me want to cry.

Ranma got the worst of it,
All of it in my name,
He got the fiancées,
The enemies, the blame.

I'll never leave home again,
Not a single tiny walk,
All I want to do now,
Is sit with Soun and talk.

I'm an old man now,
My hair speaks it true,
I don't deserve it,
That does make me blue.

Not that I deserve it,
Not one little bit,
But Ranma wants and needs it,
Else Akane would throw a fit.

Akane deserves so much more,
Than I could ever pay,
She needs it more,
For all the time I've stayed.

But no-one will believe me,
When I tell them I work,
They must all think,
That I'm a stupid jerk.

Not that they're wrong,
I'm sad to say,
So here I have to work,
And earn a place to stay.
