[00:19.08]Ever since I was a girl my own mother vowed
[00:21.95]I must find the way to power through a noble brow
[00:25.03]I married once for love then my senses came
[00:27.81]I must marry for the stature of my husband's name
[00:30.47]Onto marriage number two
[00:31.93]I knew what I had to do
[00:33.37]And my poor husband fell ill in a year or two
[00:36.07]Solved problem number one now to problem number two
[00:38.95]His doe-eyed little girl with gentle point of view
[00:41.90]Would I ship her off to school
[00:43.16]No I told her if she stayed that she'd have to earn her keep
[00:45.92]And so she became the maid
[00:47.51]She was lazy
[00:48.07]She was crazy
[00:48.73]She was talking to the mice
[00:50.16]She was hopelessly naive so she had to pay the price
[00:53.12]I moved her to the attic out of sight and out of mind
[00:56.03]I could have thrown her out but I'm benevolent and kind
[00:58.93]Mother your heart's too big for you
[01:04.68]I knew what I had to do
[01:09.13]After all difficult children will take advantage of your good nature
[01:13.80]So you lock them up from away the key
[01:17.33]There's one on every family tree
[01:20.09]Ungratefull
[01:20.94]Hateful
[01:21.61]Vile too the things she put you through
[01:25.78]Break their spirit so they obey
[01:28.58]Now they'll do anything you say
[01:31.43]Maybe you'd call it cruel but others would call it love
[01:36.43]Tough love
[01:37.95]I ask you is it a crime to strive for perfection in all things
[01:41.81]Oh no they're so cute when they're little but
[01:44.55]Then they grow up and just ruin everything
[01:48.28]I never wanted children life was better on my own
[01:50.97]All the screaming nagging chilled me to the bone
[01:54.02]But then one day I came across a flower growing free
[01:56.80]It's magic kept me young so I kept it all for me
[01:59.57]But someone dug it up now a baby held the power
[02:02.27]So I borrowed her locked her up and hid her in a tower
[02:05.39]Years went by
[02:06.67]Oh the sacrifice
[02:07.81]And against my better judgment I fed her once or twice
[02:10.97]Teenagers now I know I wild eat their young
[02:13.56]But that's messy
[02:14.42]Manipulation's easily more fun
[02:16.59]A little guilt a lot of force of course you have to lie
[02:19.41]Remind them that without you they'd shrivel up and die
[02:22.40]They only have themselves to blame
[02:27.80]If you'd been there you'd do the same
[02:33.34]So work them hard 'til they fall in line
[02:36.38]There's one way and it's only mine
[02:39.23]Children are lazy
[02:40.55]Spoiled too
[02:42.04]But we know what to do
[02:44.93]Govern them with a heart of stone
[02:47.72]Lock them up so they're all alone
[02:50.52]Maybe you'd call it cruel but
[02:53.37]Others would call it love tough love
[02:56.89]Ugh her own tower with a water view and
[02:59.56]She runs away the first chance she gets
[03:02.17]These wretched brats think the world owes them something
[03:05.67]But it doesn't
[03:07.16]Far and wide I rule the kingdom with a heavy hand
[03:10.17]But there was more I had in mind a greater plan
[03:13.04]I never cared to share so the king would have to fall
[03:15.74]But his child blocked the way to me and fairest of them all
[03:18.54]She was chubby she was dumb
[03:19.88]And grotesquely optimistic
[03:21.32]She needed structure in her life
[03:22.92]She wasn't realistic
[03:24.27]I gave her chores and took away the things that she'd enjoy
[03:27.21]But then I caught her singing songs with birds
[03:29.02]And then a boy
[03:30.04]Love was I just sit by and wait
[03:32.90]For her to take my crown
[03:34.15]No
[03:34.38]She had sealed her fate
[03:35.74]She had to go and so she did and you know what they say
[03:38.54]An apple once a day keeps your enemies away
[03:41.25]Don't be fooled by their tender smile
[03:46.99]Give an inch and they'll run a mile
[03:55.50]Our idea of a happy home
[03:58.31]Is one where we live all alone
[04:01.12]Dark
[04:01.55]Depressing
[04:02.44]Desolate
[04:03.94]Now let's all drink to that
[04:06.71]Call us wicked call us mean
[04:09.56]Cruel and everything in between
[04:12.43]You could say it's unjust
[04:15.21]Turning their dreams to dust
[04:18.07]This is what we call love tough love
