The Milk Carton Kids - Charlie lyrics
[The Milk Carton Kids - Charlie lyrics]
Charlie, I'll make a deal with you
After which you can do anything you want to
I know I've got the leg up
As you're still only made up
But baby you know I wrote this song for you
Don't go kissing boys
Don't make a lot of noise
Let daddy sing his songs, and be real good
Just treat your teachers nice and
Find a healthy appetite
For what you really, really want to do
And if in fact your married
Before the day I'm buried
Follow just my one and only rule
For everything you do just
Remember through and through
Be my best friend 'cause I'll be one for you
Charlie, you'll be strong
Charlie, you'll be smart
Charlie, you'll be anything you want
To from the start charlie, oh my baby
You'll be every bit the lady
That'll go on breaking this old lonely heart
I know just how you'll be cause
You'll be just like me
Charming, so alarming & a little crazy
The queen of some sand castle, an abrasive
Rowdy
Hassle but kind and loving, fresh and bright
I know
Come to me with problems, I swear
I won't go try to solve 'em
I'll only tell you everything I know
Like standing tall was all I had
Like boys are bad and love's a fad
That no one ever learns to just let go
Charlie, there's just one little thing before
We meet some lovely spring
I have to go and you find you a nice momma
She'll be just like me and you
Perfect in just what we do
A love as strong as father and his daughter
Oh, darling, Charlie
After which you can do anything you want to
I know I've got the leg up
As you're still only made up
But baby you know I wrote this song for you
Don't go kissing boys
Don't make a lot of noise
Let daddy sing his songs, and be real good
Just treat your teachers nice and
Find a healthy appetite
For what you really, really want to do
And if in fact your married
Before the day I'm buried
Follow just my one and only rule
For everything you do just
Remember through and through
Be my best friend 'cause I'll be one for you
Charlie, you'll be strong
Charlie, you'll be smart
Charlie, you'll be anything you want
To from the start charlie, oh my baby
You'll be every bit the lady
That'll go on breaking this old lonely heart
I know just how you'll be cause
You'll be just like me
Charming, so alarming & a little crazy
The queen of some sand castle, an abrasive
Rowdy
Hassle but kind and loving, fresh and bright
I know
Come to me with problems, I swear
I won't go try to solve 'em
I'll only tell you everything I know
Like standing tall was all I had
Like boys are bad and love's a fad
That no one ever learns to just let go

Perfect in just what we do
A love as strong as father and his daughter
Oh, darling, Charlie
