All my life its been "manners is the key"
when someone said that i had "good manners" you'd say "yeah from me"
but tell me how that could be
cause if i do wrong you'd say "you didnt get it from me"
how can you claim one and not the other?
Don't you think thats wrong mother?
Are you hiding your failure undercover?
cause you can't claim one without the other.
when you lie its fine
when i catch you in a lie you deny
if i get caught you expect the truth and that only
if i don't i'm the one fony
if you don't respect its okay
"i'm the adult" you always say
if i don'd show respect
i'm in trouble you better bet
when i show all respect and don't lie
i'm your kid all right
but if i screw up
i'm grounded and you say "tuff luck"
but the thing is mother everything i do
i get it from you
its not dad you know it
hes been in my life what a tiny bit?
stop saying i'm bad, and you can't deal
cause everything i do
i get from you
and yes it is true.
best straighten up before i lose all respect for you too
