Ricky had a will   Ricky had a way   Ricky was a stubborn kid   He showed it every day   But he didn't yell   And he didn't fight   Instead of starting arguments   Ricky would take flight   Oh - He hasn't done is yet but he just might   Hey - Ricky takes flight tonight   Escape - Time to get away   Take leave from his fears   And now he's in the clear   Bitten by the belt   And lashed by the tongue   But through all his problems   He looks out for number one   When he doesn't like   Whatever's going on   He knows that he can just walk off   He'll calm down before too long
