AmandaI know what you re thinking
You and I have much to say
And you ve been making you crazy
Trying to understand
But it s impossible at your age.

I know I said I ll always try
But you re going to bed alone again tonight
And you lie there in the dark and wonder why.

I did it for youand the boys
Because love should teach you joy
And not the imitation
That your mama and daddy tried to show you.
I did it for youand for me
And because I still believe
There s only one thing
You can never give up
Or ever compromise on
And that s the Real Thing you need in love.

You re so afraid your life is over
And nothing I can say can change your mind.
How can anybody be so selfish
And treat you all so cruel
Go on and scream at me and cry
I ll always hold you in my soul
And I m never going to leave you all alone
But your daddy doesn t live here anymore.

I did it for youand the boys
Because love should teach you joy
And not the imitation
That your mama and daddy tried to show you.
I did it for youand for me
And because I still believe
There s only one thing
That you can never give up
Never compromise on
And that s the real thing you need in love.

Everybody s got a boat upon the ocean
Not everybody s sailing out to sea
And is there someone there for me?
I m ready to believe.

I did it for youand the boys
Because love should teach you joy
And not the imitation
That your mama and daddy tried to show you.
I did it for youand for me
And because I still believe
There s only one thing
That you can never give up
Never compromise on
And that s the real thing you need in love.
