You know, you brought your girl up well
|
So well, that everyone can always tell
|
That you had some work to do
|
Thought she'd get the best of you
|
|
I'm glad that you never gave up on her
|
Shut the door or sent her away
|
You didnt know what else to say
|
But you loved her
|
|
You knew that she'd have to go
|
And told her all the things she never wanted to know
|
Because she already knew everything
|
Didn't she?
|
|
And so you kicked her out into
|
the bright light
|
and of course it started a fight
|
but it would be the last
|
|
Because she's trying
|
She's trying
|
Trying hard to do what you taught her to
|
She's trying
|
She's trying
|
Trying hard to be what you want her to
|
|
You know, you brought your girl up well
|
So well, the day she came and told you she fell in love
|
And packed her bags
|
You hid your
|
smile, didn't laugh
|
|
You sat her down and told her the rules of love
|
Watch your back and trust no-one
|
And most of all just dont forget
|
To get a pre-nup
|
|
And then when she went away
|
And came running back the very next day
|
You didn't tell her that you told her so
|
Even though you
|
|
Knew that she'd have to skin and break
|
Her own leg
|
And of course you feel it to
|
Pick her up, it'd be enough
|
|
Because she's trying
|
She's trying
|
Trying hard to do what you taught her to
|
She's trying
|
She's trying
|
Trying hard to be what you want her to
|
|
You know, you brought your girl up well
|
So well that even though she put you through hell
|
You'd figure it was worth it
|
Even though it wasnt perfect
|
|
I'm glad that you never gave up on her
|
Shut the door or sent her away
|
You didnt know what else to say
|
But you loved her
|
|
You knew that she'd have to go
|
And told her all the things she never wanted to know
|
Because she already knew everything
|
Didn't she?
|
|
And so you kicked her out into
|
the bright light
|
and of course it started a fight
|
but it would be the last
|
|
Because she's trying
|
She's trying
|
Trying hard to do what you taught her to
|
She's trying
|
She's trying
|
Trying hard to be what you want her to
|
