Don't fall in love with a fixer upper who
Has an attitude you think you'll fix with your crazy glue
Even love of the highest magnitude won't make him a different dude
Don't fall in love with a diamond in the rough
If you think his stuff makes him less than good enough
Remember diamonds are by far the hardest stuff
You can't turn no diamonds into fluff
If you're mixing love and fixing you could go berserk
If you think he's a jerk changing him won't work
If projection makes perception, there's no need to whine
When jerks are all you find
Then jerks are in your mind
Don't fall in love with nobody else but you
Before you pursue the one you think
will make your dreams come true
Then you can toss away your tube of Crazy Glue
Cause he'll be a perfect child like you.
Paper chains, don't bind your hand, your heart, your head with paper chains
Free yourself instead, don't remain
In a place where your love brings you only pain (repeat)
Don't keep on beating a dead horse
Don't send get well cards to a corpse
The greatest wisdom is to know
When its time for letting go
Time to let your life begin again (repeat first verse)
Let me be please be frank
You've got more assets than a bank
Do not continue to invest
Where there is no interest
Time to let your life begin again (repeat first verse)
Silence and solitude that is the way
We learned to live out our lives day by day.
Violence is something that we have been told
Qualifies young boys to enter the fold of
Real Men Real Men
Fathers and sons are all sons of a gun, when they're real men
All through America here's how it's done
First you will sever you heart from your tongue
Then you'll be taught how to handle a gun
Learn these two lessons and then you've become
Real men..Real Men.
Fathers and sons are all sons of a gun when they're real men , real men.
Over and over throughout every age.
Young boys inherent their fathers cold rage
That covers a hurt that we dare not to speak
lest we be judged to be childish and weak
So in goes the needles and out come the booze
Or hurt someone else if it help you to lose
the feeling you got on the day that you learned
that you had no one and nowhere to turn
but right now and right here we have a choice
To keep up the silence or raise up our voice
and get real men..real men...
Fathers and sons can both lay down their guns
and get real men..get real men.
Do you think that your old man's a jerk
Cause all he did was go to work
Do you wish he showed a little more affection
Did ya' have to guess
At what was not expressed
And do you blame him 'cause your life is a mess
Your father's love
Your father's love
Is not displayed
In what he can say
But what he does
And wasn't your dad the one
Who always seemed to spoil your fun
Do you wish that he just weren't so damn demanding
Did he push to hard
Did he go too far
Did it seem like he was always raising the bar
Your father's love
Your father's love
Is not displayed in what he can say
but what he does
Nobody knows 'cause he doesn't show
The love deep in his heart
But he was there
To make the repairs
When your world fell apart
So maybe you might still be mad
Because you had a shut-down dad
Well I hope that you get over it someday
Because he couldn't do
The things he did for you
If he let his crazy feeling get in the way
Your fathers love
Yours fathers love
Is not displayed in what he can say but what he does
