The money tree

I´m standin´ on an open world
I´ve gotta try so hard for myself
Not including the ones that I love
I call my family
It´s not hard when your focus is a beautiful girl
A brand new baby, she´s a baby girl
And yes she is a cutie like her mommy
She looks like her mommy
We both know who we are
And I´m not changing a thing,
I´ve never changed before
If lovin´ me is work, I´m not a job to take
I think we´re headin´ for the crazy-making heartbreak
I´m wonderin´ why I´m sittin´ here, alone again
Why you always crush me,
Why it´s never easy
Easy, easy, easy, it´s not easy
This is you, this is me,
You won´t be a part of what we need to be
Not for me, for the future of us three
For our daughter college, family, sudden-health emergencies
You think it´s easy pickin´ money off my Money Tree?
With two houses, both cars,
I paid off your fucking credit card debt,
Did you already forget? Huh?
You threaten, threaten, threaten, threaten, threaten, huh
Just fucking leave,
Find a man who will put up with this
We both know who we are
And I´m not changing a thing,
I´ve never changed before
If lovin´ me is work, I´m not a job to take
I think we´re headin´ for the crazy-making heartbreak
I can´t help but think
Of how good you are with our baby daughter
Half the time a single mother
When I go away it´s so that you can always stay home
And watch your baby grow, bring her up the right way
You never take it that way
We both know who we are
And I´m not changing -
I need support, not a slap in the face
You have to trust me or I´m sure this will blow up in your face
Our love was such an angel, she doesn´t even know
We´ve torn each other down in ways we don´t even know
We both know who we are
And I´m not changing a thing,
I´ve never changed before
If lovin´ me is work, I´m not a job to take
I think we´re headin´ for the crazy-making heartbreak
I can´t help but think
Of how good you are with our baby daughter
Half the time a single mother
When I go away it´s so that you can always stay home
And watch your baby grow, bring her up the right way
It´s me the one who has his family´s future at heart
It´s you the one who never wants a family apart
We both know that together we can only believe
That if we cut the shit there´d be no reason to leave
I´ve gotta try so hard for myself
Not including the ones that I love
I call my family
It´s not hard when your focus is a beautiful girl
A brand new baby, she´s a baby girl
And yes she is a cutie like her mommy
She looks like her mommy
We both know who we are
And I´m not changing a thing,
I´ve never changed before
If lovin´ me is work, I´m not a job to take
I think we´re headin´ for the crazy-making heartbreak
I´m wonderin´ why I´m sittin´ here, alone again
Why you always crush me,
Why it´s never easy
Easy, easy, easy, it´s not easy
This is you, this is me,
You won´t be a part of what we need to be
Not for me, for the future of us three
For our daughter college, family, sudden-health emergencies
