Even when the child is bad, you know, you can't complain
And even when they do you wrong, you love them just the same
When you look them in the eye they're as plain to see
You're staring in the eyes of a child that you used to be
If you love them
Then show them you give them what you owe them
But whatever you do
Don't lie
Don't lie
Right before you eyes
All grown up and gone away
And it all depends on you if they are gonna stay
If you love them
Then show them you give them what you owe them
But whatever you do
Don't lie
If you don't listen
You lose them
You can choose you or choose them
But whatever you do
Don't lie
Don't lie
