High

(And now, a decree from her Royal HIGHness)

Oh, my beloved daughter
Listen, you know you oughta
Heed the words of your mama
We don't need unnecessary drama

Oh, my beloved mama
Listen, I know you wanna
Say what's best for your daughter
But I love what my man's gotta offer

What has he got that you don't have
Babygirl, you've got it all
But he, got no job, got no class
No, this gold digger got me so appalled

He's like a beam of sunshine
Yeah, his love is unconditional
All I want's to make him mine
So please Mama, just be rational

Honey, can'tcha see
Foolishly, you've put your life o' royalty
In jeopardy
To lead a simple life among the peasantry, oh

Mama, can't you see
Royalty's begun to take its toll on me (please, tell me what you need)
I need to spread my wings
To lead a little life of pleasantries

Oh, my beloved daughter
Come on, be a little smarter
Think about it a little harder
And follow with me and your father
Oh, my beloved mama
You know I love you but I
Can't take much more of this any longer
'Cause this life it feels like torture

Family forged from hellfire
Rule it all with an iron fist, baby
So the mortal you fell for
Will fall victim to your lineage

Don't care for your desire
Love will light the path I weave for me
And the man that I fell for
Will take me away from misery

Honey, can'tcha see
Foolishly, you've thrown away your legacy
To live out fantasies
To let a peasant take your dignity, oh

Mama, can't you see
Hear me please
The love, it makes me whole
(Oh, the words you need to heed)
I need to keep him close to me
So who are you to tell me what I need?

Somebody who's big and strong (mama)
Somebody to sing our song (mama)
Somebody who can provide (mama)
Somebody who'll hold my baby through the night

Somebody who's big and strong (uh-huh)
Somebody to sing my song (that's right)
Somebody who can provide (yeah, baby)
Somebody to-
Wait

No, mama, you know this wrong
Oh, no, my baby, just play along
Nuh uh, that boy da light of my life
That boy will never know how treat my baby right

'Cause that boy, he just don't belong
Mama, that boy ain't like anyone
Oh nah, start pushin' that boy aside
No, no, soon you will find, I will never be denied (I will never be denied)

Can'tcha see
Foolishly, You push away your family
So selfishly
To leave
To disappear into obscurity, oh, no

Mama, can'tcha see
All I need's for him to take a hold of me (oh, do you have to leave)
So set me free
We'll leave and lead a little life in harmony

Oh, dear Mother/Daughter
A bond that flows in demon's blood
Or vows beneath the stars above
I ask, dear Mother/Daughter
The covenant I bleed with, shunned
So is the womb the HIGHest love?
Oh, no
