[00:00.000] 作词 : 无[00:01.000] 作曲 : 无[00:19.461]Ever since I was a girl my own mother vowed[00:22.214]I must find the way to power through a noble brow[00:25.210]I married once for love then my senses came[00:27.960]I must marry for the stature of my husband's name[00:30.713]Onto marriage number two[00:32.210]I knew what I had to do[00:33.462]and my poor husband fell ill in a year or two[00:36.457]Solved problem number one now to problem number two[00:39.465]His doe-eyed little girl with gentle point of view[00:41.962]Would I ship her off to school?[00:43.458]No! I told her if she stayed that she'd have to earn her keep and so she became the maid![00:47.710]She was lazy! She was crazy![00:49.207]She was talking to the mice![00:50.460]She was hopelessly naive so she had to pay the price.[00:53.712]I moved her to the attic out of sight and out of mind.[00:56.462]I could have thrown her out but I'm benevolent and kind.[00:59.457]Mother your heart's too big for you![01:04.961]I knew what I had to do[01:09.465]After all difficult children will take advantage of your good nature![01:14.215]So you lock them up[01:15.967]Throw away the key![01:17.710]There's one on every family tree[01:20.218]Ungrateful![01:21.216]Hateful![01:21.958]Vile too! The things she put you through![01:26.216]Break their spirit so they obey[01:28.958]Now they'll do anything you say[01:31.711]Maybe you'd call it cruel but[01:34.706]others would call it love[01:36.715]Tough Love![01:38.467]I ask you is it a crime to strive for perfection in all things?[01:42.207]Oh no they're so cute when they're little but then they grow up and just..[01:46.212]ruin everything![01:48.709]I never wanted children[01:49.707]life was better on my own[01:51.216]all the screaming nagging chilled me to the bone![01:54.212]But then one day I came across a flower growing free[01:57.207]It's magic kept me young so I kept it all for me![01:59.956]But someone dug it up now a baby held the power[02:02.465]So I "borrowed"her and locked her up and hid her in a tower![02:05.717]Years went by OH! The sacrifice![02:08.467]and against my better judgment I fed her once or twice.[02:11.462]Teenagers now I know why wild eat their young![02:13.716]But that's messy![02:14.715]Manipulation's easily more fun![02:16.965]A little guilt a lot of force of course you have to lie![02:19.707]remind them that without you they'd shrivel up and die![02:22.714]They only have themselves to blame![02:27.960]If you'd been there you'd do the same![02:33.709]So work them hard 'til they fall in line![02:36.716]There's one way and it's only mine![02:39.465]Children are lazy![02:40.963]Spoiled too![02:42.207]But we know what to do![02:45.215]Govern them with a heart of stone![02:48.209]Lock them up so they're all alone![02:50.714]Maybe you'd call it cruel but[02:53.713]others would call it love tough love![02:57.207]Ugh! Her own tower with a water view and she runs away the first chance she gets![03:02.393]These wretched brats think the world owes them something.[03:06.145]But it doesn't[03:07.397]Far and wide I rule the kingdom with a heavy hand but there was more I had in mind a greater plan.[03:13.346]I never cared to share. So the king would have to fall[03:15.853]But his child blocked the way to me and "Fairest of them all"[03:18.849]She was chubby. She was dumb and grotesquely optimistic[03:21.844]She needed structure in her life! She wasn't realistic![03:24.594]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![03:30.596]Love?! Was I just sit by and wait for her to take my crown? NO![03:34.530]She had sealed her fate![03:36.039]She had to go and so she did and you know what they say[03:38.789]“An apple once a day keeps your enemies away”[03:41.784]Don't be fooled by their tender smile![03:47.287]Give an inch and they'll run a mile![03:55.786]Our idea of a happy home[03:58.782]Is one where we live all alone![04:01.535]Dark. Depressing. Desolate![04:04.285]Now let's all drink to that![04:07.038]Call us "wicked" and call us "mean"[04:10.033]“Cruel”and everything in between.[04:12.784]You could say it's unjust![04:15.536]Turning their dreams to dust![04:18.286]This is what we call love[04:21.282]Tough Love!
