It was a spring day in Ohio
You were such a special child
Let's hold you out the window
Oh, just see the small crowd smileLet's take you home and make a fuss
Let's cram you down their throats
And wait 'til daddy sees you
He wants only just to please youHe is at the corner bar
This is your life
How do you like it so farWell, they are tryin' hard to like you
Can you blame 'em if they don't?
You could tell them all the things you know
It might kill 'em, so you won'tAnd you keep your eyes wide open
And you know when to disappear
Wait 'til daddy needs you
He wants only just to tease youSo you go drivin' in his car
This is your life
How do you like it soFar down the road from me
She is miles away where she can breathe
She is free
I've always been freeShe lives far down the road from me
She is miles away where she can breathe
And you can't take that away from me
She is free, I've always been freeIt was on a spring day in Ohio
That's where all of the plans were laid
Where they teach ya how to smile
And be a good girl every dayWell, I had my own secret
And it was shining in the sky
Wait 'til daddy frees you
He meant only just to please youBut I was wishin' on a star
Now this is my life
How do you like it so far
