Danny - Do You lyrics

[Verse 1] Single mother, Papa Rolling Stone Rolled away when little man was ten years old Left a noticeable hole, where her heart had once resided Tried to hide it with a cold lump of coal Slowly turned into a woman that she knew before She was four years old when HER father walked up out the door And her mother never loved the same again Now granted, men were in and out her home But she'd love 'em leave 'em, 'cause her heart of stone Just would not allow no occupants, and since her love was non-existent You can bet her daughter missed it When she'd try to find it all she'd get is Empty looks, no confirmation Only complications Watched her mom become the woman that she ("tried to avoid, she said") [Chorus] Do now as I say darling, not as I do See the way I play kid, not do as I do Do do dodo do do dodo do do not as I do Or you'll feel blue [Verse 2] But despite her mom's advice Everybody knows the cycle goes around and around Little girl is grown now, but she never found Anybody that could change her back into the woman that she was Woman that she was, she attempted to instill some values into little man Never wanted little man to grow up fatherless, but Showing affection is something that she never bothered with So little man grew up to be misogynistic Got a twisted sense of how to love from the way his momma did it Momma didn't ever set a good example, but she never wanted little man To end up cold and lonely like she was, wasn't in her plan Yet here I am... [Bridge] It's not possible to teach a kid by preaching When you do the opposite [Chorus 2X]
