璇珠、爬爬公生 - Tough Love (后妈茶话会)
Lyrics by：Jessie Ware

Ever since I was a girl
my own mother vowed
I must find the way to power
through a noble brow
I married once for love then
my senses came
I must marry for the stature
of my husband's name
Onto marriage number two
I knew what I had to do
and my poor husband fell ill
in a year or two
Solved problem number one
now to problem number two
His doe-eyed little girl
with gentle point of view
Would I ship her off to school
No I told her if she stayed
that she'd have to earn her keep and
so she became the maid
She was lazy
She was crazy
She was talking to the mice
She was hopelessly naive
so she had to pay the price
I moved her to the attic out of sight
and out of mind
I could have thrown her out
but I'm benevolent and kind
Mother your heart's too big for you
I knew what I had to do
After all difficult children will
take advantage of your good nature
So you lock them up
Throw away the key
There's one on every family tree
Ungrateful
Hateful
Vile too The things she put you through
Break their spirit so they obey
Now they'll do anything you say
Maybe you'd call it cruel but
others would call it love
Tough Love
I ask you is it a crime
to strive for perfection in all things
Oh no they're so cute when they're
little but then they grow up
and just ruin everything
I never wanted children
life was better on my own
all the screaming nagging
chilled me to the bone
But then one day I came across
a flower growing free
It's magic kept me young
so I kept it all for me
But someone dug it up
now a baby held the power
So I borrowed her and locked
her up and hid her in a tower
Years went by Oh The sacrifice
and against my better judgment
I fed her once or twice
Teenagers now I know
why wild eat their young
But that's messy
Manipulation's easily more fun
A little guilt a lot of force of course
you have to lie
remind them that without you
they'd shrivel up and die
They only have themselves to blame
If you'd been there you'd do the same
So work them hard 'til they fall in line
There's one way and it's only mine
Children are lazy
Spoiled too
But we know what to do
Govern them with a heart of stone
Lock them up so they're all alone
Maybe you'd call it cruel but
others would call it love tough love
Ugh Her own tower with a water view
and she runs away the first chance she gets
These wretched brats think
the world owes them something
But it doesn't
Far and wide I rule the kingdom
with a heavy hand
but there was more
I had in mind a greater plan
I never cared to share
So the king would have to fall
But his child blocked the way to
me and Fairest of them all
She was chubby
She was dumb and grotesquely optimistic
She needed structure in her life
She wasn't realistic
I gave her chores and took
away the things that she'd enjoy
but then I caught her singing
songs with birds and then a boy
Love Was I just sit by and
wait for her to take my crown No
She had sealed her fate
She had to go and so she
did and you know what they say
An apple once a day keeps
your enemies away
Don't be fooled by their tender smile
Give an inch and they'll run a mile
Our idea of a happy home
Is one where we live all alone
Dark Depressing Desolate
Now let's all drink to that
Call us wicked and call us mean
Cruel and everything in between
You could say it's unjust
Turning their dreams to dust
This is what we call love
Tough Love
