Why does he still go on like she's a baby |
|
Saying that's no kind of language for a lady? |
|
He knows she hates that word, that's why he said it. |
|
He can be childish too and she won't forget it. |
|
Don't tell me I don't understand, |
|
He said, 'I know I don't understand. |
|
I understood when you were ten, |
|
But nothing's added up since then. |
|
He said, 'I'll give you a piece of my mind |
|
And you're not too old to take it. |
|
Oh, just a piece of my mind |
|
That's him and her mum on honeymoon. |
|
She was born in January and that was in June. |
|
But now her life and his, they just don't mix, |
|
And he don't like her boyfriends or her politics. |
|
Don't tell me what you think of me, |
|
I know what you think of me. |
|
I understood when you were ten, |
|
But nothing's added up since then. |
|
He said, 'I'll give you a piece of my mind |
|
And you're not too old to take it. |
|
Just a piece of my mind |
|
Still he remembers her head |
|
On the pillow of her little bed. |
|
And then all at once she's sixteen |
|
And now she hates him. |
|
Don't tell me you don't understand, |
|
She said, 'What is there to understand? |
|
I've grown up since I was a kid |
|
And maybe, Dad, it's time that you did. |
|
She said, 'I'll give you a piece of my mind |
|
And you're not too old to take it, |
|
Oh, just a a piece of my mind |
|
And not too old |
|
'Cause I'm not your baby, |
|
Not your little girl. |
|
Not your baby |
|
Not your little girl |
