IS HE GONNA TREAT ME RIGHT
(K. Legare Copyright ©2009)
When I look deep inside
There’s an emptiness that cannot be denied
Cuz how can I know who I am
If I don’t know where I began
If I don’t know about you Dad
Mama was just seventeen
She could’ve been a beauty queen
Instead she gave into the hunger
Now two kids her dreams went under
We never really had a dime
Me and Lalia in the welfare line
Waiting for them to call our number
Give us the things to quell the hunger
That was 20 years ago
Things are different now I know
But now every man I meet
When he tries to get close to me
I wonder…
(CHORUS)
IS HE GONNA TREAT ME RIGHT
IS HE GONNA TREAT ME RIGHT
Is he trying to steal my thunder
Take my dreams and roll me under
I remember when you went away
The clothes you wore but what did you say
Memory’s a funny thing
It sifts the bad to a faded pain
I guess that’s a way to keep us sane
Now I’ve got so many answers
I need to know the questions
Are you what I’m all about?
All you left is a legacy of doubt
(REPEAT CHORUS)
So if want to take me on
You’ve got to prove to me
That you can be a better man than he could be
Won’t fear responsibility
Cuz I made a vow you see
My kids ain’t gonna be brought up like me
(REPEAT CHORUS)
