DOIN' IT FOR TWO

DOIN IT FOR TWO
NOT WHAT WAS PLANNED
YOU EXPECTED HIM
TO BE A MAN

YOU DIDNT DECIDE
TO SIT THERE AND WAIT
YOU GRABBED IT BY THE HORNS
AND CONTROLLED YOUR OWN FATE

FOR YOU KNEW THE SCORE
IN THIS GAME CALLED LIFE
SO YOU DUG IN
AND BEGAN THE FIGHT

BLOOD,SWEAT,AND TEARS
YOU MAY HAVE LOST
BUT IT WAS WORTH THE PRICE
SO YOU PAID THE COST

AND NOW HE COMES AROUND
LIKE HE'S DOING YOU A FAVOR
TO CAPITALIZE ON
THE FRUITS OF YOUR LABOR

BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE
WE KNOW WHERE THE TRUTH LIES
HE'S A WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING
A DEVIL IN DISGUISE

BUT YOU ARE THE REAL DEAL
BOTH THE MOTHER AND FATHER
YOU WERE TRULY THERE
WHEN HALF OF A BIOLOGICAL DIDN'T BOTHER

SO TO ALL YOU FATHERS
AND SINGLE MOTHERS TOO
WE SALUTE THE ONES THAT DID BOTHER
AND THE ONES DOIN IT FOR TWO

[SPINNING ON that dizzy ..]

This says it all - absolutely. This is a life story that happens WAY too often.... I know how it feels to be doin it for two.... the love is there - so you do it and you would no matter what. The hard part IS when someone comes around and wants to get into the Kodak moment with you..... I like the idea to "Salute the ones that DID bother - the ones doin it for two" That is a cool sentiment .....

Thanks for being one who understands too!
