I'm a fool to be kind to you
It's not what the men in your life tend to do
Must be so strange finding someone
Who only accepts you
Rejection's a lesson you've had
Your lost in the anger you feel for your dad
But oh how he loves you there's no doubt
With all his high hopes for you
I could push you away I could say I don't want you no more
I could drive you right into the floor
And tell you your useless get used to it lady
But I'm big in believing that baby your bigger than that
It's respect for yourself that you lack
And success it's a move that you choose
With eve - ry step
I want to grow old with you
To hold your old hand and look back on our youth
I will be strong at times I might not
I'm only human
I could push you away I could say I don't want you no more
I could drive you right into the floor
And tell you your useless get used to it lady
But I'm big in believing that baby your bigger than that
It's respect for yourself that you lack
And success it's a move that you choose
With eve - ry step
So be free like a bumble bee
Spread wings like a bird
Squawk like a peacock and let your voice be heard
It's okay, I have no lock, key or a cage
You've got to want to stay
I won't push you away I Won't say I don't want you no more
I won't drive you right into the floor
But I'll tell you your beautiful, get on with it lady
Cause I'm big in believing that baby your bigger than that
It's respect for yourself that you lack
And success it's a move that you choose
With eve - ry step
So take a step
It's just step by step
