Loyal Friend and Thoughtful Lover - The Wind and The Wave

My daddy always used to take me down to Kiddie Park

Farris wheels and roller coasters all 'bout to fall apart

Well I'm all grown up now, 25 years old and on my own

Moved in with the boyfriend see and I'm rarely going home

My daddy always used to say be careful where you step

Them cracks is gonna break your back, the government's gonna get

Every cent you ever earn in life, so don't expect a lot

Eat all the food up on your plate. What you get is what you got.

See, I know life isn't fair or free

Never turn your back on family

And even though you love me, let me be

I'm sure, I don't need you anymore

It don't work like that. Abandon everything you used to know

I can't learn from your mistakes. I gotta make them on my own

All the hurt you wanna save, what'll make me who I am

Loyal friend and thoughtful lover, won't take shit from any man

See, I know life isn't fair or free

Never turn your back on family

And even though you love me, let me be

I'm sure, I don't need you anymore

Oh how time has changed your little girl

Oh how time has changed your little girl

Oh how time has changed your little girl

Oh how time has changed your little girl

And See, I know love isn't all you need

And money never grew from any tree

And even though you love me, let me be

I'm sure, I don't need you anymore

I know life isn't fair or free and I'll never turn my back on family, I'm sure
