Well that phone doesn't ring when you want it to   And it isn't your dream on the line   It's just dad telling mom to have dinner without him   'Cause he won't be coming home on time      Well there's always that dance to escape to   But that doesn't always work out   You don't have a date; you're not going alone   Isn't it nice to know you can still come home?      Well you don't have a million friends to speak of   But a best one is all that you need - oh   Growing up so strong but you're not made of stone   Isn't it nice to come home?      In the real world you're not always welcome   And all's not forgive and forget   It's a cruel world without understanding   And little one it's not over yet      Well you never can trust a stranger   So you may as well give up this fight - oh   Your best friend's are waiting in the living room   So go on and kiss them good night
