[00:02.41]Tough Love (后妈茶话会)
[00:04.41]翻唱：克丽斯
[00:19.65]Ever since I was a girl my own mother vowed
[00:22.66]I must find the way to power through a noble brow
[00:25.66]I married once for love then my senses came
[00:28.16]I must marry for the stature of my husband's name
[00:30.91]Onto marriage number two
[00:32.66]I knew what I had to do
[00:33.91]And my poor husband fell ill in a year or two
[00:36.66]Solved problem number one now problem number two
[00:39.66]His doe-eyed little girl with gentle point of view
[00:42.41]Would I ship her off to school
[00:43.66]No I told her if she stayed that she'd have
[00:45.91]To earn her keep and so she became the maid
[00:47.91]She was lazy
[00:48.66]She was crazy
[00:49.41]She was talking to the mice
[00:50.9]She was hopelessly naive so she had to pay the price
[00:53.91]I moved her to the attic out of sight and out of mind
[00:56.66]I could have thrown her out but I'm benevolent and kind
[00:59.66]Benevolent and kind
[01:00.66]Mother your heart's too big for you
[01:05.16]I knew what I had to do
[01:09.91]After all difficult children will take advantage of your good nature
[01:14.66]So you lock them up throw away the key
[01:17.91]There's one on every family tree
[01:20.66]Ungrateful
[01:21.41]Hateful
[01:25.93]Vile too the things she put you through
[01:27.68]Break their spirit so they obey
[01:29.18]Now they'll do anything you say
[01:31.93]Maybe you'd call it cruel but others would call it love
[01:36.93]Tough love
[01:38.68]I ask you is it a crime to strive for perfection in all things
[01:42.43]Oh no they're so cute when they're little but
[01:45.43]Then they grow up and just ruin everything
[01:48.93]I never wanted children life was better on my own
[01:51.43]All the screaming nagging chilled me to the bone
[01:54.42]But then one day I came across a flower growing free
[01:57.43]It's magic kept me young so I kept it all for me
[01:59.93]But someone dug it up now a baby held the power
[02:02.93]So I borrowed her locked her up and hid her in a tower
[02:05.92]Years went by
[02:07.18]Oh the sacrifice
[02:08.67]And against my better judgment I fed her once or twice
[02:11.43]Teenagers now I know I wild eat their young
[02:14.18]But that's messy
[02:14.93]Manipulation's easily more fun
[02:16.93]A little guilt a lot of force of course you have to lie
[02:19.93]Remind them that without you they'd shrivel up and die
[02:22.93]They only have themselves to blame
[02:28.18]If you'd been there you'd do the same
[02:33.93]So work them hard 'til they fall in line
[02:36.93]There's one way and it's only mine
[02:39.68]Children are lazy
[02:41.18]Spoiled too
[02:42.68]But we know what to do
[02:45.43]Govern them with a heart of stone
[02:48.18]Lock them up so they're all alone
[02:51.18]Maybe you'd call it cruel but
[02:53.93]Others would call it love tough love
[02:57.43]Ugh her own tower with a water view and
[02:59.93]She runs away the first chance she gets
[03:02.68]These wretched brats think the world owes them something
[03:05.93]But it doesn't
[03:07.68]Far and wide I rule the kingdom with a heavy hand
[03:10.93]But there was more I had in mind a greater plan
[03:13.43]I never cared to share so the king would have to fall
[03:16.68]But his child blocked the way to me and fairest of them all
[03:19.18]She was chubby she was dumb
[03:21.18]And grotesquely optimistic
[03:21.93]She needed structure in her life
[03:23.43]She wasn't realistic
[03:24.68]I gave her chores and took away the things that she'd enjoy
[03:27.43]But then I caught her singing songs with birds
[03:29.93]And then a boy
[03:30.68]Love was I just sit by and wait
[03:33.18]For her to take my crown
[03:34.43]No
[03:34.68]She had sealed her fate
[03:36.18]She had to go and so she did and you know what they say
[03:38.68]An apple once a day keeps your enemies away
[03:41.68]Don't be fooled by their tender smile
[03:47.43]Give an inch and they'll run a mile
[03:55.93]Our idea of a happy home
[03:58.93]Is one where we live all alone
[04:01.68]Dark
[04:02.68]Depressing
[04:03.68]Desolate
[04:04.43]Now let's all drink to that
[04:07.18]Call us wicked call us mean
[04:09.68]Cruel and everything in between
[04:12.93]You could say it's unjust
[04:15.93]Turning their dreams to dust
[04:18.68]This is what we call love love love
[04:22.93]Tough love
