Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
She was haunted by the dead but friendly ghosts
As her helpers they stayed as her hosts
And the reason why she kept them was her fear for herself
Yes, she was dangerous, she might
Drink some wine, sing all night, mess up the yard
Steal a man, rape his love, then throw it away
And she became what she tried to avoid, she said:
"Do now as I say, darling, not as I do
See the way I play, kid, not do as I do
Not as I do
Or you'll feel blue,"
That which no one knew was that her own love was gone
Stolen from her dead man long ago
Their son was treated bad
'Cause of her ego and selfish thoughts
She cared less 'bout him than 'bout her own
He was soft, now he's hard
Seemingly strong
All he gets is empty looks
No confirmation.
All he was taught was through her
And to keep quiet, see
"Do now as I say, darling, not as I do
See the way I play, kid, not do as I do
Not as I do
Or you'll feel blue,"
It was like a crime she can't undo
Now nothing can be done, and
It runs in his blood, too
It's not possible to teach a kid by preaching
When you do the opposite
"Do now as I say, darling, not as I do
See the way I play, kid, not do as I do
Not as I do
Or you'll feel blue,"
