Because I Love You
When I was little My Daddy would sit me down and he would say
Because I love you I never want you to get hurt.
So when Michael hits me, I know it's not love .
My Dad would say because I love you, I treat you like a princess.
So when Terrell yells at me and calls me names, I know it's not love .
When he's mad at me because the towels aren't lined perfectly I know
Or when he tells me that I will never amount to anything I know it isn't love.
My Dad would tell me he only wants what is best for me and for me to be happy .
So when Ernesto takes everything that ever made me happy away
I KNOW THAT ISN'T LOVE !
So Thank You Dad, for showing me what love is.
