Tough Love - The Villains Lair [By PattyCakes]
-
Ever since I was a girl my own mother vowed
I must find the way to power through a noble brow
I married once for love, then my senses came
I must marry for the stature of my husbandâs name
Onto marriage number two
I knew what I had to do
And my poor husband fell ill in a year or two
Solved problem number one, now to problem number two
His doe-eyed little girl with gentle point of view
Would I ship her off to school?
No! I told her if she stayed that sheâd have
To earn her keep and so she became the maid
She was lazy!
She was crazy!
She was talking to the mice
She was hopelessly naive, so she had to pay the price
I moved her to the attic out of sight and out of mind
I could have thrown her out, but Iâm benevolent and kind
Mother, your heartâs too big for you!
I knew what I had to do!
After all, difficult children will take advantage of your good nature
So you lock them up from away the key
Thereâs one on every family tree
Ungrateful!
Hateful!
Vile too, the things she put you through
Break their spirit so they obey
Now theyâll do anything you say
Maybe youâd call it cruel but others would call it love
Tough love
I ask you, is it a crime to strive for perfection in all things?
Oh no, theyâre so cute when theyâre little but
Then they grow up and just ruin everything!
I never wanted children, life was better on my own
All the screaming, nagging chilled me to the bone!
But then one day I came across a flower growing free
Itâs magic kept me young, so I kept it all for me
But someone dug it up, now a baby held the power
So I âborrowedâ her, locked her up and hid her in a tower
Years went by, OH, the sacrifice!
And against my better judgment, I fed her once or twice
Teenagers now I know I wild eat their young
But thatâs messy
Manipulationâs easily more fun
A little guilt, a lot of force of course you have to lie
Remind them that without you, theyâd shrivel up and die!
They only have themselves to blame!
If youâd been there, youâd do the same
So work them hard 'til they fall in line
Thereâs one way and itâs only mine
The children are lazy
Spoiled too
But we know what to do
Govern them with a heart of stone
Lock them up, so theyâre all alone!
Maybe youâd call it cruel but
Others would call it love, tough love
Ugh, her own tower with a water view and
She runs away, the first change she gets
These wretched brats think the
World owes them something, but it doesnât
Far and wide I rule the kingdom with a heavy hand
But there was more, I had in mind a greater plan
I never cared to share, so the king would have to fall
But his child blocked the way to me and âFairest of them allâ
She was chubby, she was dumb
And grotesquel optimistic
She need structure in her life!
She wasnât realistic!
I give her chores and took away the things that sheâd enjoy
But then I cought her singing songs with birds and then a boy
Love?! Was I just sit by and wait?!
For her to take my crown? No!
She had sealed her fate!
She had to go, and so she did and you know what
They say, âAn apple once a day keeps your enemies awayâ
Donât be fooled by their tender smile
Give an inch and theyâll run a mile!
Our idea for a happy home
Is one where we live all alone!
Dark!
Depressing!
Desolate!
Now letâs all drink to that
Call us wicked call us mean!
Cruel and everything in between
You could say itâs unjust
Turning their dreams to dust
This is what we call love, tough love! -
