Swimming Lessons

she ain't no ordinary mama,
she might like you a lot but not as much as drama
and you, you don't want no drama
she ain't no ordinary sister
she's going down and she wants to take you with her
and you, you're too smart to sink
 
you should stop giving swimming lessons,
that ain't your new profession
you don't owe her progression, that's what i think
 
she ain't no ordinary lover
she likes to be the victim; one day she will discover
you know love won't point the blame
she ain't no ordinary honey
erasing all her problems by spending daddy's money
and you know love don't cost a thing
 
i know you don't want to hear it
you're still not used to these words
until you're thinking clearly
let me tell you what i think you're worth
 
you ain't no ordinary lassie
you keep it kind, thoughtful and classy
and you have a heart that grows
 
you should start taking flying lessons
make that your new profession
you owe yourself progression, that's what i know
