Do You - Danny!

Single mother, Papa Rolling Stone

Rolled away when little man was ten years old

Left a noticeable hole, where her heart had once resided

Tried to hide it with a cold lump of coal

Slowly turned into a woman that she knew before

She was four years old when HER father walked up out the door

And her mother never loved the same again

Now granted, men were in and out her home

But she’d love 'em leave 'em, 'cause her heart of stone

Just would not allow no occupants, and since her love was non-existent

You can bet her daughter missed it When she’d try to find it all she’d get is Empty looks, no confirmation

Only complications

Watched her mom become the woman that she («tried to avoid, she said»)

Do now as I say darling, not as I do

See the way I play kid, not do as I do Do do dodo do do dodo do do not as I do

Or you’ll feel blue

But despite her mom’s advice

Everybody knows the cycle goes around and around

Little girl is grown now, but she never found

Anybody that could change her back into the woman that she was

Woman that she was, she attempted to instill some values into little man

Never wanted little man to grow up fatherless, but

Showing affection is something that she never bothered with

So little man grew up to be misogynistic

Got a twisted sense of how to love from the way his momma did it Momma didn’t ever set a good example, but she never wanted little man

To end up cold and lonely like she was, wasn’t in her plan

Yet here I am…

It’s not possible to teach a kid by preaching

When you do the opposite
