[00:19.826]Ever since I was a girl my own mother vowed

[00:22.583]I must find the way to power through a noble brow

[00:25.579]I married once for love then my senses came

[00:28.080]I must marry for the stature of my husband's name

[00:30.828]Onto marriage number two

[00:32.580]I knew what I had to do

[00:33.829]and my poor husband fell ill in a year or two

[00:36.578]Solved problem number one now to problem number two

[00:39.580]His doe-eyed little girl with gentle point of view

[00:42.334]Would I ship her off to school?

[00:43.831]No! I told her if she stayed that she'd have to earn her keep

[00:46.580]and so she became the maid!

[00:47.830]She was lazy! She was crazy!

[00:49.334]She was talking to the mice!

[00:50.832]She was hopelessly naive so she had to pay the price.

[00:53.833]I moved her to the attic out of sight and out of mind.

[00:56.583]I could have thrown her out but I'm benevolent and kind.

[00:59.584]Mother your heart's too big for you!

[01:05.332]I knew what I had to do

[01:09.579]After all difficult children will take advantage of your good nature!

[01:14.331]So you lock them up

[01:16.333]Throw away the key!

[01:17.831]There's one on every family tree

[01:20.333]Ungrateful!

[01:21.330]Hateful!

[01:22.084]Vile too! The things she put you through!

[01:26.330]Break their spirit so they obey

[01:29.080]Now they'll do anything you say

[01:32.080]Maybe you'd call it cruel but

[01:34.828]others would call it love

[01:36.831]Though Love!

[01:38.083]I ask you is it a crime to strive for perfection in all things?

[01:42.582]Oh yes
