Lyrics
See, apple doesn't fall far from the tree
Should've known the way that you'd be lovin' me
From the way I see you treat your family
Hey, 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 lovin' me
From the way I see you treat your family
Hey, 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
You'll meet a nice boy and become a wife
He'll put food up on the table
And he'll always be your faithful
And you'll always be stable
And you'll never be ungrateful
You taught me different definitions
'Cause fucked 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 a tree
Should've known the way that you'd be lovin' me
From the way I see you treat your family
Hey, 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 batchelor 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 that you'd be lovin' me
From the way I see you treat your family, family, family
Oh, hey, 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 (oh no)
Should've known the way that you'd be lovin' me (loving me)
From the way I see you treat your family
Oh hey, how you couldn't help the way that you were raised
(Were you raised)
How I let you stay and grow on me (on me)
I need better than your family tree
