[00:20.03]Ever since I was a girl my own mother vowed.
[00:22.63]I must find the way to power through a noble brow.
[00:25.71]I married once for love then my senses came.
[00:28.40]I must marry for the stature of my husband's name.
[00:31.24]Onto marrige number two.
[00:32.63]I knew what I had to do.
[00:34.17]and my poor husband fell ill in a year or two.
[00:36.61]solved problem number one,now to problenm number two.
[00:39.71]His deo-eyed littlle girl with gentle point of biew.
[00:42.44]Would I ship her off to school?
[00:43.74]No!I told her if she stayed that she'd have to earn her keep.
[00:45.33]and so she became the maid!
[00:47.97]She was lazy!
[00:48.91]She was Crazy!
[00:49.61]She was talking to the mice!
[00:51.00]She was hopelessly naive,so she had to pay the price.
[00:53.65]I moved her to the attic out of sight and out of mind.
[00:56.74]I coud have thrown her out,but I'm benevolent and kind.
[00:59.62]Mother,your heart's too big for you!
[01:05.07]I knew what I had to do.
[01:09.84]After all,difficult children will take advantage of your good nature.
[01:14.27]So you lock them up.
[01:16.12]Throw away the key!
[01:18.01]There's one on every family tree.
[01:20.70]Ungrateful!
[01:21.50]Hateful!
[01:22.35]Vile too!The things she put you through!
[01:26.49]Break their spirit so they obey!
[01:29.28]Now they'll do anything you say.
[01:32.11]Maybe you'd call it cruel but
[01:34.65]others would call it love
[01:36.99]Tough Love!
[01:38.58]I ask you,is it a crime to strive for perfection in all things?
[01:42.66]Oh,no,they're so cute when they're little but then they grow up and just…
[01:46.89]ruin everything.
[01:48.94]I never wanted children
[01:50.44]life was better on my own
[01:51.73]all the screaming,nagging chilled me to the bone!
[01:54.52]But then one day i came across a flower growing free
[01:57.36]it's magic kept me young,so i kept it all for me!
[02:00.29]But someone dug it up now a baby held the power
[02:02.99]so I "borrowed"her and locked her upand hid her in a tower!
[02:05.92]Years went by,OH!
[02:07.37]The sacrifice and against my better judgment,I fed her once or twice.
[02:11.55]Teenagers now I know I wild eat their young
[02:14.30]But that's messy
[02:15.34]manipulatin's easily more fun
[02:17.44]A little guilt,a lot of force,of course you have to lie
[02:20.03]remind them without you,they'd shrivel up and die!
[02:23.22]They only have themselves to blame!
[02:28.35]If you'd been there, you'd do the same
[02:33.93]So work them hard'til they fall in line
[02:37.07]There's one way and it's only mine
[02:39.86]Children are lazy
[02:41.26]Spoiled too
[02:42.70]But we know what to do!
[02:45.39]Govern them with a heart of stone
[02:48.32]Lock them up so they're all alone
[02:51.01]Maybe you call it cruel but,
[02:53.86]others would call it love,tough love!
[02:57.85]Ugh!Her own tower with a water view
[03:00.44]and she runs away the first chance she gets
[03:02.73]These wretched brats think the world owes them something
[03:06.66]But it doesn't
[03:07.90]Far and wide I rule the kingdom with a heavy hand
[03:10.99]but there was more I hand in mind a greater plan
[03:13.73]I never cared to share,so The King would have to fall
[03:16.47]But his child blocked the way to me and "Fairest of them all"
[03:19.16]She was chubby.She was dumb
[03:20.75]and grotesquely optimistic
[03:22.20]She needed structure in her life!She wasn't realistic
[03:24.69]I gave her chores and took away the things that she'd enjoy
[03:27.73]but then I caught her singing songs with birds and then a boy!
[03:30.72]Love?!Was I just sit by and wait?!
[03:33.41]for her to take my crown? NO!
[03:35.06]she hand sealed her fate!
[03:36.40]She hand to go,and so she did and you know what they say
[03:39.04]"An appke once a day keeps your enemies away"“
[03:41.88]Don't be fooled by their tender smile!
[03:47.61]give an inch and they'll run a mile!
[03:55.88]Our ider of a happy home
[03:58.73]Is one where we live all alone!
[04:01.56]Dark,Depressing,Desolate!
[04:04.30]Now let's all drink to that!
[04:07.14]call us "wicked" and call us "mean"
[04:09.98]"Cruel" and everything in between
[04:12.72]You could say it's unjust
[04:15.61]Turning their dreams to dust
[04:18.44]This is what we call love
[04:21.69]Tough Love!
