daddy won't like this discussion  think he might find it too much  when he sees what you want to be    something you won't tell your sister  what she don't know she won't miss  when they see what you want to be  see what you could have been    baby won't live with your mama  still she does better than some  when they see what you want to be    you can trade tongues with your brother  it's better than losing your lover  when they see what you want to be  see what you could have been    no way to please her  she goes where you lead her  some days you tease her  but she's counting them upside down    janey leaves you out of pocket  and she's no good for your confidence  you can do better than this one  having your palm read in russian  will not see what you want to see  see what you could've been    no way to leave her  she goes where you lead her  some days you tease her  but she's counting them upside down    daddy won't like this decision  you're gonna be causing some friction  all of your records are broken  it doesn't say much for your confidante    no way to please her  she goes where you lead her  some days you tease her  no way to please her  no way to please her  she goes where you lead her  some days you tease her  but she's counting them upside down
