[00:19.492]Ever since I was a girl my own mother vowed
[00:22.492]I must find the way to power through a noble brow
[00:25.731]I married once for love then my senses came
[00:27.991]I must marry for the stature of my husband’s name
[00:30.985]Onto marriage number two
[00:32.481]I knew what I had to do
[00:33.980]and my poor husband fell ill in a year or two
[00:36.502]solved problem number one, now to problem number two
[00:39.481]His doe-eyed little girl with gentle point of view
[00:42.251]Would I ship her off to school?
[00:43.733]No! I told her if she stayed that she’d have to earn her keep
[00:46.481]and so she became the maid!
[00:47.734]She was lazy!
[00:48.734]She was Crazy!
[00:49.482]She was talking to the mice!
[00:50.733]She was hopelessly naive, so she had to pay the price.
[00:53.483]I moved her to the attic out of sight and out of mind.
[00:56.730]I could have thrown her out, but I’m benevolent and kind.
[00:59.485]Mother, your heart’s too big for you!
[01:05.231]I knew what I had to do
[01:09.742]After all, difficult children will take advantage of your good nature.
[01:14.232]So, you lock them up
[01:15.992]Throw away the key!
[01:17.481]There’s one on every family tree
[01:20.492]Ungrateful!
[01:21.242]Hateful!
[01:21.982]Vile too! The things she put you through!
[01:26.233]Break their spirit so they obey!
[01:28.983]Now they’ll do anything you say
[01:31.742]Maybe you’d call it cruel but
[01:34.744]others would call it love
[01:36.742]Tough Love!
[01:38.480]I ask you, is it a crime to strive for perfection in all things?
[01:42.482]Oh, no, they're so cute when they're little but then they grow up and just…
[01:46.731]ruin everything!
[01:48.741]I never wanted children
[01:49.980]life was better on my own
[01:51.481]all the screaming, nagging chilled me to the bone!
[01:54.232]But then one day I came across a flower growing free
[01:57.242]its magic kept me young, so I kept it all for me!
[01:59.981]But someone dug it up now a baby held the power
[02:02.731]so, I "borrowed “her and locked her up and hid her in a tower!
[02:05.737]Years went by, OH!
[02:06.991]The sacrifice and against my better judgment, I fed her once or twice.
[02:11.480]Teenagers now I know I wild eat their young
[02:13.981]But that's messy
[02:14.986]manipulations' easily more fun
[02:16.990]A little guilt, a lot of force, of course you have to lie
[02:19.732]remind them without you, they’d shrivel up and die!
[02:22.732]They only have themselves to blame!
[02:28.231]If you'd been there, you'd do the same
[02:33.480]So, work them hard ‘til they fall in line
[02:36.731]There's one way and it's only mine
[02:39.746]Children are lazy
[02:40.982]Spoiled too
[02:42.481]But we know what to do!
[02:45.237]Govern them with a heart of stone
[02:47.980]Lock them up so they're all alone
[02:50.899]Maybe you'd call it cruel but,
[02:54.313]others would call it love, tough love!
[02:57.071]Ugh!Her own tower with a water view
[02:59.319]and she runs away the first chance she gets
[03:02.321]These wretched brats think the world owes them something
[03:06.331]But it doesn’t
[03:07.813]Far and wide I rule the kingdom with a heavy hand
[03:10.564]but there was more I had in mind a greater plan
[03:13.331]I never cared to share, so The King would have to fall
[03:16.062]But his child blocked the way to me and “Fairest of them all”
[03:18.825]She was chubby. She was dumb
[03:20.071]and grotesquely optimistic
[03:22.077]She needed structure in her life! She wasn’t realistic
[03:24.570]I gave her chores and took away the things that she’d enjoy
[03:27.580]but then I caught her singing songs with birds and then a boy!
[03:30.313]Love?!Was I just sit by and wait?!
[03:32.830]for her to take my crown? NO!
[03:34.565]she had sealed her fate!
[03:35.831]She had to go, and so she did and you know what they say
[03:38.820]“An apple once a day keeps your enemies away”
[03:41.571]Don’t be fooled by their tender smile!
[03:47.314]give an inch and they’ll run a mile!
[03:56.063]Our idea of a happy home
[03:58.580]Is one where we live all alone!
[04:01.562]Dark, Depressing, Desolate!
[04:04.071]Now let’s all drink to that!
[04:07.321]call us “wicked” and call us “mean”
[04:10.071]“Cruel” and everything in between
[04:12.812]You could say it’s unjust
[04:15.321]Turning their dreams to dust
[04:18.509]This is what we call love
[04:21.772]Tough Love!
