Lyrics for Song: The Money Tree
Lyrics for Album: Any Man in America [2011]
I'm standing on an 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
She looks like her mommy
We both know who we are
And I'm not changing a thing,
I've never changed before
If loving 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 fucking leave,
Find a man who will put up with this shit
We both know who we are
And I'm not changing a thing,
I've never changed before
If loving me is work, I'm not a job to take
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 go away it's so that you can 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
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 in ways we don't even know.
We both know who we are
And I'm not changing a thing,
I've never changed before
If loving me is work, I'm not a job to take
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 go away
Is so that you can 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 together we can only believe
That if we cut the shit there'd be no reason to leave
