[00:11.76]Ever since I was a girl my own mother vowed
[00:14.52]I must find the way to power through a noble brow
[00:17.51]I married once for love then my sences came
[00:20.28]I must marry for the stature of my husband's name
[00:22.98]Onto marriage number two
[00:24.55]I knew what I had to do
[00:25.85]And my poor husband fell ill in a year or two
[00:28.64]Solved problem number one now to problem number two
[00:31.61]His doe-eyed little girl with gentle point of view
[00:34.34]Would I ship her off to school
[00:35.70]No I told her if she stayed that she'd have
[00:37.78]To earn her keep and so she became the maid
[00:39.95]She was lazy
[00:40.76]She was crazy
[00:41.48]She was talking to the mice
[00:42.79]She was hopelessly naive so she had to pay the price
[00:45.84]I moved her to the attic out of sight
[00:47.67]And out of mind
[00:48.69]I could have thrown her out but I'm benevolent and kind
[00:51.63]Mother your heart's too big for you
[00:57.28]I knew what I had to do
[01:01.87]After all difficult children will take advantage of your good nature
[01:06.37]So you lock them up from away the key
[01:09.83]There's one on every family tree
[01:12.58]Ungrateful
[01:13.64]Hateful
[01:14.18]Vile too the things she put you through
[01:18.44]Break their spirit so they obey
[01:21.19]Now they'll do anything you say
[01:24.04]Maybe you'd call it cruel but others
[01:27.28]Would call it love
[01:29.02]Tough love
[01:30.51]I ask you is it a crime to strive
[01:32.71]For perfection in all things
[01:34.42]Oh no they're so cute when they're little but
[01:36.88]Then they grow up and just ruin everything
[01:40.93]I never wanted children life was better on my own
[01:43.44]All the screaming nagging chilled me to the bone
[01:46.49]But then one day I came across
[01:47.85]A flower growing free
[01:49.33]It's magic kept me young so I kept it all for me
[01:52.12]But someone dug it up now a baby
[01:54.06]Held the power
[01:54.83]So I borrowed her locked her up
[01:56.39]And hid her in a tower
[01:57.90]Years went by oh the sacrifice
[02:00.60]And against my better judgment
[02:01.97]I fed her once or twice
[02:03.53]Teenagers now I know I wild eat their young
[02:06.09]But that's messy
[02:06.90]Manipulation's easily more fun
[02:08.98]A little guilt a lot of force of
[02:10.65]Course you have to lie
[02:11.87]Remind them that without you they'd shrivel up and die
[02:15.03]They only have themselves to blame
[02:20.40]If you'd been there you'd do the same
[02:25.99]So work them hard 'til they fall in line
[02:29.01]There's one way and it's only mine
[02:31.72]The children are lazy
[02:33.30]Spoiled too
[02:34.47]But we know what to do
[02:37.50]Govern them with a heart of stone
[02:40.28]Lock them up so they're all alone
[02:43.03]Maybe you'd call it cruel but
[02:45.78]Others would call it love tough love
[02:49.49]Ugh her own tower with a water view and
[02:51.96]She runs away the first change she gets
[02:54.49]These wretched brats think the
[02:56.38]World owes them something but it doesn't
[02:59.73]Far and wide I rule the kingdom with
[03:01.49]A heavy hand
[03:02.75]But there was more I had in mind a greater plan
[03:05.51]I never cared to share so the king would have to fall
[03:08.19]But his child blocked the way to me and
[03:09.91]Fairest of them all
[03:10.96]She was chubby she was dumb
[03:12.45]And grotesquel optimistic
[03:13.81]She need structure in her life
[03:15.43]She wasn't realistic
[03:16.75]I give her chores and took away the
[03:18.45]Things that she'd enjoy
[03:19.68]But then I cought her singing songs
[03:21.11]With birds and then a boy
[03:22.73]Love was I just sit by and wait
[03:25.33]For her to take my crown No
[03:26.97]She had sealed her fate
[03:28.20]She had to go and so she did and you know what
[03:30.28]They say an apple once a day keeps your enemies away
[03:33.90]Don't be fooled by their tender smile
[03:39.66]Give an inch and they'll run a mile
[03:47.94]Our idea for a happy home
[03:50.72]Is one where we live all alone
[03:53.83]Dark
[03:54.34]Depressing
[03:54.82]Desolate
[03:56.47]Now let's all drink to that
[03:59.35]Call us wicked call us mean
[04:02.08]Cruel and everything in between
[04:04.86]You could say it's unjust
[04:07.85]Turning their dreams to dust
[04:10.70]This is what we call love tough love
