"Family Tree" lyrics

"Family Tree"

I tell you now that I don't understand
Why everybody gives a big hot damn
Oh, where I'm going to
Don't mean a thing to you

I see you sitting in your masquerade
I'd love to pour you some of my lemonade
And get it off alright
We're caught in an early night

I know you hate me so, but I ain't gonna go
I'm staying here all right

I am your family tree, I know your A-Z
This is a secret proposition lay your hands on me
Nothing to talk about, darling, it's all make believe
I see your hands are shaking but my heart is breaking me down

Its a pretty day and I'm gonna get alright
I lost my head and you ain't nowhere in sight
I see you got it all wrong
I got no calls on my phone

I'll just keep holding out, until I find a doubt
That you ain't coming home

I am your family tree, I know your A-Z
This is a secret proposition lay your hands on me
Not gonna talk about darling, it's so unneighborly
I see your hands are shaking but my heart is breaking me down

I am your family tree, I know your A-Z
This is a secret proposition lay your hands on me
I am your family tree, I know your A-Z
I got a secret proposition lay your hands on me

I am your family tree, I know your A-Z
This is a secret proposition lay your hands on me
I am your family tree, I know your A-Z
I got a secret proposition lay your hands on me
Not gonna talk about darling, it's so unneighborly
I see your hands are shaking but my heart is breaking me down
I see your hands are shaking but my heart is breaking me down
