Blue October - The Money Tree


I'm standin' on a 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.
Uhh yes, yeah, she looks like her mommy.

We both know who we are,
And I am not changing a thing I never changed before.
If lovin' me is work, I'm not a job to take
I think we're heading for the crazy-making heartbreak.

I'm wondering "Why I'm sitting 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 picking 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 fuckin' leave, find a man who will put up with this shit.

We both know who we are,
And I am not changing a thing I never changed before.
If lovin' me is work, I'm not a job to take
Yeah, I think we're heading 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'm gone away, I so wish you could always stay home
and watch our 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...

Ohhhhh, ohhhh, ohhh

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.
I'm in love with such an angel! she doesn't even know.
We've torn each other down and why we don't even know

We both know who we are,
And I am not changing a thing I never changed before.
If lovin' me is work, I'm not a job to take (I'm not a job to take)
Yeah, I think we're heading for the crazy-making heartbreak.
Ohhhhh, ohhhh, ohhh

I can't help but think of how good you are
with our baby daughter, half the time a single mother,
"when I'm gone away, I so wish you could always stay home
and watch our 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
