Loyal Friend And Thoughtful Lover Lyrics - From The Wreckage - 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 

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
