Well your daddys supposed to work too many bumps on the head Theres bills and theres habits, and theres mouths to be fed Mama she quit trying about age 22 now youre just the right size Its all getting left up to you Chorus: As if growing up wasnt hard enough to do Theres so much more the world is putting you through Do you need some understanding God only knows That Heather is a flower and Heather grows, Heather grows Ive been around your family 16 odd years Your brothers and sisters made you wise beyond your years Love and cucarachas is all that theres a lot of If you aint playing mama, then the kids arent being thought of (Chorus) With the world upon your shoulders and your baby on the way You realize the stage youre on and the parts youve got to play Your life is not a tragedy bringing joy to every day Love will come returning for all the love you gave away (Chorus)
