The Money Tree lyrics

I'm standin' 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

Ah yes, yeah, she looks like her mommy

[Chorus:]

We both know who we are

And I'm not changing a thing

I've never changed before

If lovin' me is work, I'm not a job to take

I think we're headin' for the crazy-making heartbreak

I'm wonderin' why I'm sittin' 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 pickin' 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

[Chorus]

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 your 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

Our love was such an angel

She doesn't even know

We've torn each other down

In ways we don't even know

[Chorus]

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 your 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 that together we can only believe

That if we cut the shit there'd be no reason to leave
