To Be Loved
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Mind your manners
Watch your weight
Be a good boy
Just behave
What's wrong with you?
Settle down.
Keep your two feet on the ground.
Stand up straight
Sit up tall
Never falter
Never fall
Stay in school
Make the grade
Never fail
And never fade
Be a hero
Be a star
Anything but what you are
Find a girl to possess
Always pay, pursue, protect
Be a master
Be a slave
Work your ass into an early grave
But you deserve to be loved
You deserve something real
Time to heal
Time to feel
Daddy's favorite little girl
Dress up in your momma's pearls
Serve us breakfast in her bed
Earn a little kiss on the forehead
You are sugar
You are spice
You are growing up so nice
Paint your nails
Paint your face
Paint around the empty space
Find a man that can provide
Try and fill the hole inside
With a family and a home
Tell yourself you're not alone
Keep your memories of yourself
In a shoebox on a closet shelf
But you deserve to be loved
You deserve something real
Time to heal
Time to feel
But you deserve to be loved
You deserve something real
Time to heal
Time to feel
You deserve to be loved
You deserve to be loved
You deserve to be loved
