The Milk Carton Kids - Charlie lyrics

Charlie, I'll make a deal with you After which you can do anything you want to I know I've got the leg up, as you're still only made up But baby you know I wrote this song for you Don't go kissing boys, don't make a lot of noise Let daddy sing his songs, and be real good Just treat your teachers nice and find a healthy appetite For what you really, really want to do And if in fact your married before the day I'm buried Follow just my one and only rule For everything you do just remember through and through Be my best friend 'cause I'll be one for you Charlie, you'll be strong Charlie, you'll be smart Charlie, you'll be anything you want to from the start Charlie, oh my baby, you'll be every bit the lady That'll go on breaking this old lonely heart I know just how you'll be cause you'll be just like me Charming, so alarming & a little crazy The queen of some sand castle, an abrasive, rowdy ha**le but kind and loving, fresh and bright, I know Come to me with problems, I swear, I won't go try to solve 'em I'll only tell you everything I know Like standing tall was all I had Like boys are bad and love's a fad That no one ever learns to just let go Charlie, there's just one little thing before we meet some lovely spring I have to go and you find you a nice momma She'll be just like me and you, perfect in just what we do A love as strong as father and his daughter Oh, darling, Charlie
