A wonderful lady, such a beautiful baby
Gonna teach him what's wrong, and what's right
Gonna show him direction, with love and affection
Help make his connection in life
But now, things didn't go like she thought it would
He thinks God is the devil, and evil is good
He probably wouldn't change it, eve if he could at all

All you know is what you feel, you gotta' read between the lines
What is not, and what is real, you gotta' learn how to recognize
What you're holdin' in your hands, or what you see before your eyes
If you're gonna understand, you gotta' learn how to recognize

A heart is in danger, where love is a stranger
When the fear turns the anger to rage
And it's not makin' any sense, 'cause you don't know the difference
Wouldn't know it, if it slapped you in the face
Now, it's all mixed up, it ain't no mistake
'Cause he don't know the difference between love and hate
He probably wouldn't change it, eve if he could at all

All you know is what you feel, you gotta' read between the lines
What is not, and what is real, you gotta' learn how to recognize
What you're holdin' in your hands, or what you see before your eyes
If you're gonna understand, you gotta' learn how to recognize

Why should I understand, when I could not comprehend, what'd you say
Just shove it in my face, but if, I cannot relate, how will I understand

But now, things didn't go like she thought it would
He thinks God is the devil, and evil is good
He probably wouldn't change it, even if he could at all

All you know is what you feel, you gotta' read between the lines
What is not, and what is real, you gotta' learn how to recognize
What you're holdin' in your hands, or what you see before your eyes
If you're gonna understand, you gotta' learn how to recognize
All you know is what you feel, you gotta' read between the lines
What is not, and what is real, you gotta' learn how to recognize
What you're holdin' in your hands, or what you see before your eyes
If you're gonna understand, you gotta' learn how to recognize
