Four years old, my sister is three
I'm so fragile, it's scary
You let no one hurt me
And my big sister's braver than me
Ten years old, life's moving so fast
San Diego trips are the best
You've got work and everything else
And I chase dreams, you handle the rest, yeah
Mama, don't you know I love you?
You
Fifteen years old, things aren't so good
You found love like we knew you would
But we were wrong, she didn't love you, oh
And we watched you fall, no parachute, yeah
Eighteen years old, I'm finally done
Graduation was all you could want
I was yours from the very start
And now you've seen the man I've become
Papa, you're more than enough too
And I love you
Twenty-one, I feel all the love
And I know that it's been hard enough
Mom's not perfect and dad is no saint, oh
But I don't want it any other way
Mama, don't you know I love you?
You
And papa, you're more than enough too
And I love you
So hold on, cause I owe you so much
And what I'll do is take care of you
