Single Parent
Gabriela Rita she's sweet as she can be-ta.
But at 15 years of age
With hormones in rage
Sometime I just can't be me-ta
I try not to sound like an overbearing parent
But in times of stress sometimes I rant
"Where have you been where the hell are you going?"
A parent's distressed when they aren't in the knowing
We're only here to protect and to love
And occasionally gently give you a shove
When we can view you without this distress
We see all that we are and you too possess
So give me some slack and don't be a slacker
We live in a world that says no to a smacker
"Spare the rod and spoil the child" Today it's a crock
It was legal and effective in the days of Dr. Spock
Children don't understand our unrequited love
Because we only see them as a gift from above
So talk to your sons and cuddle your daughters
Teach them the things that truly matters
For all you parents of daughters and sons
We are the creators and look what we've brung
Love is the answer so stay the course
Love heals all wounds without recourse
You love them now
they echo "they do too"
It may be years from now
when you know that it's true
But at 15 years of age
With hormones in rage
Sometime I just can't be me-ta
I try not to sound like an overbearing parent
But in times of stress sometimes I rant
"Where have you been where the hell are you going?"
A parent's distressed when they aren't in the knowing
We're only here to protect and to love
And occasionally gently give you a shove
When we can view you without this distress
We see all that we are and you too possess
So give me some slack and don't be a slacker
We live in a world that says no to a smacker
"Spare the rod and spoil the child" Today it's a crock
It was legal and effective in the days of Dr. Spock
Children don't understand our unrequited love
Because we only see them as a gift from above
So talk to your sons and cuddle your daughters
Teach them the things that truly matters
For all you parents of daughters and sons
We are the creators and look what we've brung
Love is the answer so stay the course
Love heals all wounds without recourse
You love them now
they echo "they do too"
It may be years from now
when you know that it's true
