Ever since I was a girl
My own mother vowed
I must find the way to power through a noble brow
I married once for love then my senses came
I must marry for the stature of my husband's name
Onto marrige number two
I knew what I had to do
My poor husband fell ill in a year or two
Solved problem number one
Now to problem number two
His doe-eyed little girl
with gentle point of view
Would I ship her off to school?
No!
I told her if she stayed
that she'd have to earn her keep and so she became the maid!
She was lazy!
She was Crazy!
She was talking to the mice!
She was hopelessly naive,so she had to pay the price.
I moved her to the attic out of sight and out of mind.
I coud have thrown her out,
but I'm benevolent and kind.
Mother,your heart's too big for you!
I knew what I had to do
After all,
difficult children will take advantage of your good nature.
So you lock them up,throw away the key!
There's one on every family tree
Ungrateful!
Hateful!
Vile too!
The things she put you through!
Break their spirit so they obey!
Now they'll do anything you say
Maybe you'd call it cruel
but others would call it love
Tough Love!
These wretched brats think the world owes them something
But it doesn't
Far and wide I rule the kingdom with a heavy hand
but there was more I had in mind a greater plan
I never cared to share,so The King would have to fall
But his child blocked the way to me and "Fairest of them all"
She was chubby.She was dumb and grotesquely optimistic
She needed structure in her life!
She wasn't realistic
I gave her chores and took away the things that she'd enjoy,
but then I caught her singing songs with birds and then a boy!
Love?!Was I just sit by and wait?!
For her to take my crown? NO!
She had sealed her fate!
She had to go and so she did and you know what they say
"An apple once a day keeps your enemies away"
Don't be fooled by their tender smile!
Give an inch and they'll run a mile!
Our idea of a happy home
Is one where we live all alone!
Dark,Depressing,Desolate!
Now let's all drink to that!
Call us "wicked" and call us "mean"
"Cruel" and everything in between
You could say it's unjust
Turning their dreams to dust
This is what we call love
Tough Love!
