It's Not Easy

(album: Real Girl - 2007)

I wonder what you'll look like
And if you'll make me laugh
What will be your temptations
Will you grow up too fast

What with all the noise around you
Will I teach you how to sing
Will you be one of those kids
Who thinks they know everything

I can see you growing up way too soon
Isn't that just what they said about me too

It's not easy being right all the time
You know someone has to be (someone has to be)
Her spirits can be undermined
Usually that someone turns out to be me

Can feel you in my skin
Feel you deep within
You ain't going nowhere
I ain't being myself

'Cause you're the reason why
I give in every time
I give you everything
(give you everything)

I hope you make the right decisions
Hope that they come easily
I know with all of us around you
We give out our opinions free

So will you stay or will you break out
To make out on your own
Will you need that kind of freedom
When you finally leave home

I can see you growing up way too soon
Isn't that just what they said about me too

It's not easy being right all the time
You know someone has to be (someone has to be)
Her spirits can be undermined
Usually that someone turns out to be me

Can feel you in my skin
Feel you deep within
You ain't going nowhere
I ain't being myself

'Cause you're the reason why
I give in every time
I give you everything
(give you everything)

Ooooh

I can see you growing up way too soon
Isn't that just what they said about me too

It's not easy being right all the time
You know someone has to be (someone has to be)
Her spirits can be undermined
Usually that someone turns out to be me

Can feel you in my skin
Feel you deep within
You ain't going nowhere
I ain't being myself

'Cause you're the reason why
I give in every time
I give you everything
(give you everything)

It's not easy being right all the time
You know someone has to be (someone has to be)
Her spirits can be undermined
Usually that someone turns out to be me

Can feel you in my skin
Feel you deep within
You ain't going nowhere
I ain't been myself

'Cause you're the reason why
I give in every time
I give you everything
(give you everything)
