Family Tree

See, apple doesn't fall far from the tree

Should've known the way that you'd be loving me

From the way I see you treat your family

Hate how you couldn't help the way that you were raised

How I let you stay and grow on me

I need better than your family tree

See, apple doesn't fall far from the tree

Should've known the way that you'd be loving me

From the way I see you treat your family

Hate how you couldn't help the way that you were raised

How I let you stay and grow on me

I need better than your family tree

I was taught one day in another life

To meet a nice boy and become a wife

He'll put food up on the table and

He'll always be faithful and

You'll always be stable and

You'll never be ungrateful

You told me different definitions

'Cause ****ed-up seeds carry on tradition

I won't become your new addition

Baby listen, baby listen

The truth is that my roots, they come from the dark

But, the more that I loved you, the more that I learned

I'm not gonna fight what I know I deserve

Know what I deserve

And it's easy now to see

Apple doesn't fall far from the tree

Should've known the way that you'd be loving me

From the way I see you treat your family

Hate how you couldn't help the way that you were raised

How I let you stay and grow on me

I need better than your family tree

At 23, she was earning her own living, and living her own life

And in her time, being a bachelor girl isn't the social disgrace it was when our parents called them "spinsters"

Maybe I'm just too jaded

Probably way too young to think

That it's so complicated

Too young to think so into things

But, no, no, no, no

See, apple doesn't fall far from the tree

Should've known the way you'd be loving me

From the way I see you treat your family (family, family)

Oh, hate how you couldn't help the way that you were raised (raised)

How I let you stay and grow on me

I need better than your family tree

See, apple doesn't fall far from the tree (oh no)

Should've known the way you'd be loving me (loving me)

From the way I see you treat your family

Hate how you couldn't help the way that you were raised (way you were raised)

How I let you stay and grow on me (on me)

I need better than your family tree
