But Is This the Way Lyrics

Album: Believe?

She spent the happiest childhood

Rich parents, the best neighborhood

Lots of money, life's real funny

Love my mommy in my daddy's caddy

Her new boy friend looks kind a suspicious

He buys her things' n fulfills all her wishes

They call him lohnny

Cool Everyone knew, he's cruel

But is this the way

Her parents used to say

That life was going to be

You've grown up to see a terrifying reality

So girl don't be a fool

Don't become Johnny's tool

In the land of milk' n honey

You work hard for the money

Now is this the cream de la cream

Or just a bad dream

Johnny Cool took her

Now she's a hooker

She lives on the streets

And works between the sheets

She'll get everything she wants

Just take off her clothes

You're on your own feet

But on the wrong street

What you've done ain't no crime

But it's about time

You can't make your dough

By the horizontal job

This ain't what I've been told

What'll be when I grow old

This ain't all, it cannot be

A cold and heartless reality
