No blood of mine
Runs through your veins
yet my daughter you are,
just the same!
I stand on the sidelines
as decisions are made
into the shadows
where my opinions fade
Choice and decisions
your parents make
the left over pieces
I do gladly take
I hold you when
Sorrow rips at your heart
I make you breakfast
As each new day starts
I watch over and protect you
As each day goes by
I laugh and I play with you
and hold you when you cry
I worry and fret
when something is wrong
While I watch from the sidelines
where I belong
Choices and decisions
that are made just for you
made by your parents
who number as two
My daughter you are
and my love for you true
I am a nobody
and nobody loves you!
