Father And Daughter

(With Rosie Nix Adams)

It's not time to make a change
Just relax and take it easy
You're still young
That's your fault
There's so much you have to know

Find a boy
Settle down
And if you want
You can marry
Look at me
Getting old
But I'm happy

I was once like you are now
And I know that it's not easy
To be calm
When you found
Something going on

But take your time
Think a lot
Why think of every thing you've got?
For you'll still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not

How can I try to explain?
Cause when I do he turns away again
And it's always been the same
Same old story

From the moment I could talk
I was ordered to listen
Now there's a way
And I know
That I have to go away

It's not time
To make a change
Just sit down and take it slowly
You're still young
That's your fault
There's so much you have to go through

Find a boy
Settle down
And if you want
You can marry
Look at me
Getting old
But I'm happy

All the times that I have cried
Keeping all the things I knew inside
It's hard
But it's harder to ignore it

If they were right
I'd agree
But it's them that know not me
Now there's a way
And I know
That I have to go away

I know
I have to go away
I know
I have to go away
I know
I have to go away
