Well, caught in the middle of a teenage love affair Kids get it the worst, you know She was 16, her parents couldn't take her anywhere She'd already started to show She had Amy inside of her Amy, you gotta let it go You would think she didn't want you But how could that be so? So the daughter let her hair down, just like her mama did The couple didn't stand a chance In anything and everything, looking out for God-forbid But man, could the girl dance And it was a family And the family, last time I checked Was a group of people who give you love When you least expect So the parents split-up like the whole Grand Canyon The story unfolds some more You can't please your mother and your father wasn't there for you Now, the brother you adore is saying "Amy, you used to Carry me underneath your arm And maybe your little brother knows That you can't cover up the scars And it had nothing to do with you And it had nothing to do with me And it had nothing to do with love." Maybe that's the craziest thing in the whole biography Oh yeah So, the feelings buried, lit a fuse to the bomb And the daughter got far away She always was a fighter with an agony inside her And you can hear what her daughter says She says, "Mommy Why are you so angry? And it's time that you stopped blaming me and everybody else Maybe someday you'll forgive yourself." And the family And the family, last time I checked Is a group of people who give you love When you least expect For this heart that we can not protect For this heart that we can not protect I got this love and this great respect For this heart that we can not protect Yeah
