Hopscotch for the Animal Parade

Lyrics

She's not sure just how she's supposed to know You told her years ago to watch for wolves in sheepish clothes For such a long time, she could sleep beneath your wing But now she's gone and taken off your baby's promise ring If you ever have a daughter She'll surely find her bows and ribbons torn and frayed Some day 'Cause if you ever have a daughter She's gonna give her little heart to a boy like me You'll see A boy like me would only make her cry In the vеry same way she did when shе was five On a sunny afternoon, her yellow bike And in her haste she took a dive Was it third or was it second grade? She wore her Sunday dress and hopscotched for the animal parade And now she's telling you that you don't understand 'Cause he might be a loser, but she's found herself a man You're gonna want to save her with your love But it's not you that she is really thinking of And if she's set on holding some young heathen's hand You'll have to stand along the side and watch her Bend to his command If you ever have a daughter She'll surely find her bows and ribbons torn and frayed Some day 'Cause if you ever have a daughter She's gonna give her little heart to a boy like me You'll see, you'll see Yes you will, oh yes you will Never ever have a daughter 'Cause she'll surely find her bows and ribbons torn and frayed Some day 'Cause if you ever have a daughter She's gonna give her little heart To a boy who don't know where to start That's just a part she'll have to learn to play Some day
