[00:19.35]Ever since I was a girl my own mother vowed
[00:22.21]I must find the way to power through a noble brow
[00:25.01]I married once for love, then my sences came
[00:27.88]I must marry for the stature of my husband's name
[00:30.62]Onto marriage number two
[00:32.28]I knew what I had to do
[00:33.54]And my poor husband fell ill in a year or two
[00:35.81]Solved problem number one, now to problem number two
[00:38.79]His doe-eyed little girl with gentle point of view
[00:42.16]Would I ship her off to school?
[00:43.45]No! I told her if she stayed that she'd have
[00:44.82]To earn her keep and so she became the maid
[00:47.47]She was lazy
[00:48.46]She was crazy
[00:49.06]She was talking to the mice
[00:50.53]She was hopelessly naive, so she had to pay the price
[00:53.04]I moved her to the attic out of sight and out of mind
[00:55.76]I could have thrown her out, but I'm benevolent and kind
[00:58.73]Mother, your heart's too big for you
[01:04.14]I knew what I had to do
[01:09.34]After all, difficult children will take advantage of your good nature
[01:13.69]So you lock them up throw away the key
[01:17.18]There's one on every family tree
[01:20.27]Ungrateful
[01:20.80]Hateful
[01:21.65]Vile too, the things she put you through
[01:25.77]Break their spirit so they obey
[01:28.63]Now they'll do anything you say
[01:31.36]Maybe you'd call it cruel but
[01:34.24]Others would call it love
[01:36.41]Tough love
[01:38.16]I ask you, is it a crime to strive for perfection in all things?
[01:41.96]Oh no, they're so cute when they're little but
[01:44.95]Then they grow up and just ruin everything
[01:48.54]I never wanted children, life was better on my own
[01:51.03]All the screaming, nagging chilled me to the bone
[01:53.99]But then one day I came across a flower growing free
[01:56.67]It's magic kept me young, so I kept it all for me
[01:59.52]But someone dug it up, now a baby held the power
[02:02.21]So I "borrowed" her, locked her up and hid her in a tower
[02:05.18]Years went by, Oh, the sacrifice
[02:08.19]And against my better judgment, I fed her once or twice
[02:11.03]Teenagers!Now I know why wild eat their young
[02:13.71]But that's messy
[02:14.99]Manipulation's easily more fun
[02:16.58]A little guilt, a lot of force of course you have to lie
[02:19.63]Remind them that without you, they'd shrivel up and die
[02:22.48]They only have themselves to blame
[02:27.62]If you'd been there, you'd do the same
[02:33.05]So work them hard 'til they fall in line
[02:36.16]There's one way and it's only mine
[02:38.98]The children are lazy
[02:40.49]Spoiled too
[02:42.05]But we know what to do
[02:44.67]Govern them with a heart of stone
[02:47.49]Lock them up, so they're all alone
[02:50.38]Maybe you'd call it cruel but
[02:53.10]Others would call it love
[02:55.55]Tough love
[02:56.98]Ugh, her own tower with a water view and
[02:59.79]She runs away, the first chance she gets
[03:01.95]These wretched brats think the
[03:04.46]World owes them something, but it doesn't
[03:07.49]Far and wide I rule the kingdom with a heavy hand
[03:10.18]But there was more, I had in mind a greater plan
[03:13.00]I never cared to share, so the king would have to fall
[03:15.83]But his child blocked the way to me and "Fairest of them all"
[03:18.46]She was chubby, she was dumb
[03:19.95]And grotesquely optimistic
[03:21.48]She need structure in her life
[03:23.06]She wasn't realistic
[03:24.38]I give her chores and took away the things that she'd enjoy
[03:27.04]But then I caught her singing songs with birds and then a boy
[03:29.86]Love? Was I just sit by and wait?
[03:32.68]For her to take my crown? No
[03:34.03]She had sealed her fate
[03:35.78]She had to go, and so she did and you know what they say
[03:38.38]"An apple once a day keeps your enemies away"
[03:41.36]Don't be fooled by their tender smile
[03:46.88]Give an inch and they'll run a mile
[03:55.22]Our idea for a happy home
[03:58.19]Is one where we live all alone
[04:01.08]Dark
[04:01.89]Depressing
[04:02.58]Desolate
[04:03.96]Now let's all drink to that
[04:06.65]Call us "wicked call us "mean"
[04:09.42]Cruel and everything in between
[04:12.25]You could say it's unjust
[04:14.90]Turning their dreams to dust
[04:17.91]This is what we call love
[04:20.95]Tough love
