To Be Loved

Mind your manners, watch your weight

Be a good boy, just behave

What's wrong with you?

Settle down, keep your two feet on the ground

Sit up straight, stand up tall

Never falter, never fall

Stay in school, make the grade

Never fail and never fade

Be a hero, be a star

Anything but what you are

Find a girl to possess

Always pay, pursue, protect

Be the master, be a slave

Work your ass into an early grave

But you deserve to be loved

You deserve something real

Time to heal

Time to feel

Daddy's favorite little girl

Dress up in your mommas pearls

Serve us breakfast in his bed

Heard a little kiss on the forehead

You are sugar, you are spice

You are growing up so nice

Paint your nails, paint your face

Paint around the empty space

Find a man that can provide

Try and fill the hole inside

With a family and a home

Tell yourself you're not alone

Keep your memories of yourself

In a shoe box on a closet shelf

But you deserve to be loved

You deserve something real

Time to heal

Time to feel

You deserve to be

You deserve to be loved

You deserve something real

Time to heal

Time to feel

You deserve to be loved

You deserve to be loved

You deserve to be loved
