oh mama

WILLOW - OVERTHINKING IT

oh mama, i'm so scared to become like you
when you said this man isn't like dad
i could only hope it was true
but last night when he said i love you
i couldn't find it in me to say it too
will i be missing out on a good guy
if i let this man pass me by
am i destined to settle for less
and meet a guy like my dad
then have him rule my life
cheat me but keep me as his wife
how do i know that this man
this unfortunate man will love me right
if i reject my life and live yours
in all the ways you couldn't 
will i escape the strife of a lonesome wife
break my back to keep my kids alive
if you met me 2 decades from now
could you still tell me
as you look at me in the eye
shiny, tiny, looking glasses
that im living the life you wanted to live
and if and when you can't tell me so
i'd be breaking, asking you, 

oh mama
where did i miss?
