The Wind and The Wave - Loyal Friend and Thoughtful Lover lyrics

My daddy always used to take me down to kiddie park Farris wheels and roller coasters all 'bout to fall apart Well i'm all grown up now, 25 years old and on my own Moved in with the boyfriend see and i'm rarely going home My daddy always used to say be careful where you step Them cracks is gonna break your back, the government's gonna get Every cent you ever earn in life, so don't expect a lot Eat all the food up on your plate, what you get is what you got See, I know life isn't fair or free Never turn your back on family And even though you love me, let me be I'm sure, I don't need you anymore It don't work like that, abandon everything you used to know I can't learn from your mistakes, I gotta make them on my own All the hurt you wanna save, what'll make me who I am Loyal friend and thoughtful lover, won't take sh** from any man See, I know life isn't fair or free Never turn your back on family And even though you love me, let me be I'm sure, I don't need you anymore Oh how time has changed your little girl And see, I know love isn't all you need And money never grew from any tree And even though you love me, let me be I'm sure, I don't need you anymore I know life isn't fair or free and I'll never turn my back on family, i'm sure
