Princeton Ave

[Chorus:] What is a man Who lays a hand on his lover And calls it tough love Tough love What is a man Who can't take a stand for his daughter And calls it tough love Tough love Your roots grow in the crack of the alleys College park made you Man enough to see, man enough to see There ain't a goddamn man in me Take me back to a date Before I was hostile and learned to hate You promised you would never become You promised you would never become A storm a blackout replicating the one The thunder inside him became your life And you called him your best friend Till the day you were nine [Chorus:] What is a man Who lays a hand on his lover And calls it tough love Tough love What is a man Who can't take a stand for his daughter And calls it tough love Tough love Hotel rooms, bourbon, and broads A drifter living life without God You've done it now You planted a seed Now the storm inside you It swallows her And I know life can be so strange But I know I can make a change I'ma wipe away the clouds for ya I'm gonna be around for ya I'm gonna paint the town for ya I'm gonna make a promise To give you everything you want and need But she fucked up now Cause she's bearing another mouth You can't feed Cease production of a destructive breed Seek help Cause your pride only makes you weak [Chorus:] What is a man Who lays a hand on his lover And calls it tough love Tough love What is a man Who can't take a stand for his daughter (Can't take a stand) And calls it tough love Tough love Your roots grow in the crack of the alleys College park made you Man enough to see, man enough to see (Man enough to see) There ain't a goddamn man in me (There ain't a goddamn man in me)
