Mama doesn't like the songs you sing
And Daddy hates the clothes you've been wearing
I know you've had to grow up a little too fast
Don't fly your white flag yet, you just need rest
We both know why she won't call you now
Only you can fill that missing piece
Dad still thinks your hair is way too long
But you'll learn to know he can be wrong
Your friends know more about you than your mom does
But she'll be there for you when they're goners
We both know why she won't call you now
Only you can fill that missing piece
I hope I'm everything that you dreamed of
Just be you and that'll be enough, hmm hm hmm
Don't let them tell you you're not special
One day they'll see your potential, hmm hm hmm
We both know why she won't call you now
Only you can fill that missing piece
