Your daddy says "He's no good!"
And I agree
'Cause what can I do for a girl like you
With only the shoes on my feet and a busted T.V?
You know you wanna see the world
I can only show it to you from the view of a street
I'm not right for you
Even if you're right for me
But if you chop off those beautiful wings
I can show you the alley
Where the beggar man sings
His jazzy blues and trumpet tunes
Always can quickly bring
The tears to my eyes
Maybe not for you, girl who's finger lacks a ring
Your daddy's right
Time to say goodbye
Time to say goodnight
I'm chained to the ground
But go on, take flight!
Why won't you listen,
Stubborn girl, strong girl,
Yeah, I see that your eyes glisten
With the tears of a world
But don't you let that backstreet boy
Make you stand on the ground, silent and wishin'
Go on, keep goin'
Get a boat
Start rowin'
Don't stay here with me
I'll just be hidin'
