Tough Love (Cover Patty-Cake) - 鸢尾花园.mp3

[00:20.040]Ever since I was a girl my own mother vowed
[00:23.010]I must find the way to power through a noble brow
[00:25.890]I married once for love then my senses came
[00:28.680]I must marry for the stature of my husband’ s name
[00:31.380]Onto marriage number two
[00:32.940]I knew what I had to do
[00:34.230]and my poor husband fell ill in a year or two
[00:36.930]solved problem number one, now to problem number two
[00:39.990]His doe- eyed little girl with gentle point of view
[00:42.750]Would I ship her off to school?
[00:44.250]No! I told her if she stayed that she’ d have to earn her keep
[00:47.010]and so she became the maid!
[00:48.300]She was lazy!
[00:49.050]She was Crazy!
[00:49.740]She was talking to the mice!
[00:51.090]She was hopelessly naive, so she had to pay the price.
[00:54.240]I moved her to the attic out of sight and out of mind.
[00:57.120]I could have thrown her out, but I’ m benevolent and kind.
[00:59.580]Mother, your heart’ s too big for you!
[01:06.270]I knew what I had to do
[01:09.690]After all, difficult children will take advantage of your good nature.
[01:14.730]So, you lock them up
[01:16.620]Throw away the key!
[01:18.330]There’ s one on every family tree
[01:22.020]Ungrateful!
[01:22.380]Hateful!
[01:22.560]Vile too! The things she put you through!
[01:27.150]Break their spirit so they obey!
[01:29.670]Now they’ ll do anything you say
[01:32.520]Maybe you’ d call it cruel but
[01:35.430]others would call it love
[01:37.380]Tough Love!
[01:38.550]I ask you, is it a crime to strive for perfection in all things?
[01:42.150]Oh, no,they're so cutewhenthey're little but then they grow up and just…
[01:47.010]ruin everything!
[01:49.260]I never wanted children
[01:50.580]life was better on my own
[01:52.020]all the screaming, nagging chilled me to the bone!
[01:55.080]But then one day I came across a flower growing free
[01:57.750]its magic kept me young, so I kept it all for me!
[02:00.480]But someone dug it up now a baby held the power
[02:03.510]so, I" borrowed“ her and locked her up and hid her in a tower!
[02:06.210]Years went by, OH!
[02:07.770]The sacrifice and against my better judgment, I fed her once or twice.
[02:11.970]Teenagers now I know I wild eat their young
[02:14.370]Butthat's messy
[02:15.390]manipulations' easily more fun
[02:17.670]A little guilt, a lot of force, of course you have to lie
[02:20.340]remind them without you, they’ d shrivel up and die!
[02:28.170]They only have themselves to blame!
[02:28.860]Ifyou'd been there,you'd do the same
[02:34.140]So, work them hard‘ til they fall in line
[02:37.440]There's one wayandit's only mine
[02:40.230]Children are lazy
[02:41.640]Spoiled too
[02:42.420]But we know what to do!
[02:46.260]Govern them with a heart of stone
[02:50.940]Lock them upsothey're all alone
[02:51.570]Maybeyou'd call it cruel but,
[02:54.480]others would call it love, tough love!
[02:57.750]Ugh! Her own tower with a water view
[02:59.910]and she runs away the first chance she gets
[03:02.880]These wretched brats think the world owes them something
[03:06.660]But it doesn’ t
[03:08.160]Far and wide I rule the kingdom with a heavy hand
[03:10.860]but there was more I had in mind a greater plan
[03:13.980]I never cared to share, so The King would have to fall
[03:16.680]But his child blocked the way to me and“ Fairest of them all”
[03:19.410]She was chubby. She was dumb
[03:20.880]and grotesquely optimistic
[03:22.200]She needed structure in her life! She wasn’ t realistic
[03:25.260]I gave her chores and took away the things that she’ d enjoy
[03:28.110]but then I caught her singing songs with birds and then a boy!
[03:31.080]Love?! Was I just sit by and wait?!
[03:33.750]for her to take my crown? NO!
[03:35.280]she had sealed her fate!
[03:36.540]She had to go, and so she did and you know what they say
[03:39.570]“ An apple once a day keeps your enemies away”
[03:42.930]Don’ t be fooled by their tender smile!
[03:47.970]give an inch and they’ ll run a mile!
[03:57.540]Our idea of a happy home
[03:59.340]Is one where we live all alone!
[04:02.190]Dark, Depressing, Desolate!
[04:06.270]Now let’ s all drink to that!
[04:07.740]call us“ wicked” and call us“ mean”
[04:10.560]“ Cruel” and everything in between
[04:13.350]You could say it’ s unjust
[04:16.140]Turning their dreams to dust
[04:18.960]This is what we call love
[04:21.930]Tough Love!
