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
