daddy won't like this discussion

think he might find it too much

when he sees what you want to be



something you won't tell your sister

what she don't know she won't miss

when they see what you want to be

see what you could have been



baby won't live with your mama

still she does better than some

when they see what you want to be



you can trade tongues with your brother

it's better than losing your lover

when they see what you want to be

see what you could have been



no way to please her

she goes where you lead her

some days you tease her

but she's counting them upside down



janey leaves you out of pocket

and she's no good for your confidence

you can do better than this one

having your palm read in russian

will not see what you want to see

see what you could've been



no way to leave her

she goes where you lead her

some days you tease her

but she's counting them upside down



daddy won't like this decision

you're gonna be causing some friction

all of your records are broken

it doesn't say much for your confidante



no way to please her

she goes where you lead her

some days you tease her

no way to please her

no way to please her

she goes where you lead her

some days you tease her

but she's counting them upside down
