You know, you brought your girl up well
So well, that everyone can always tell
That you had some work to do
Thought she'd get the best of you
I'm glad that you never gave up on her
Shut the door or sent her away
You didnt know what else to say
But you loved her
You knew that she'd have to go
And told her all the things she never wanted to know
Because she already knew everything
Didn't she?
And so you kicked her out into
The bright light
And of course it started a fight
But it would be the last
Because she's trying
She's trying
Trying hard to do what you taught her to
She's trying
She's trying
Trying hard to be what you want her to
You know, you brought your girl up well
So well, the day she came and told you she fell in love
And packed her bags
You hid your
Smile, didn't laugh
You sat her down and told her the rules of love
Watch your back and trust no-one
And most of all just dont forget
To get a pre-nup
And then when she went away
And came running back the very next day
You didn't tell her that you told her so
Even though you
Knew that she'd have to skin and break
Her own leg
And of course you feel it to
Pick her up, it'd be enough
Because she's trying
She's trying
Trying hard to do what you taught her to
She's trying
She's trying
Trying hard to be what you want her to
You know, you brought your girl up well
So well that even though she put you through hell
You'd figure it was worth it
Even though it wasnt perfect
I'm glad that you never gave up on her
Shut the door or sent her away
You didnt know what else to say
But you loved her
You knew that she'd have to go
And told her all the things she never wanted to know
Because she already knew everything
Didn't she?
And so you kicked her out into
The bright light
And of course it started a fight
But it would be the last
Because she's trying
She's trying
Trying hard to do what you taught her to
She's trying
She's trying
Trying hard to be what you want her to
