REQUIRED LOVE

She was throwing a fit
On the playground, in the park
She needed a spanking
But I didn't have the heart

Her Mama doesn't give her
The attention she desires
So when she is with me
I give her all that love requires

~~~*Chorus*~~~
She’s the twenty on the sidewalk
When you don’t have a dime
Confirmation from the Doctor
Chemo worked, and you’ll be fine
On a freezing cold morning
She’s the warmth of a fire
For me, she is everything
That Love does require
~~*~~

At home she is invisible
Whispers that she cries for me
I wish that someone could observe
What the judge won't choose to see

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
Maybe no one cares
They remain so blind
Can’t see what is happening
To this precious gift of mine
So many choose ignorance
To the damage that transpires
But me I know
Me I fight
To give her
All that love requires
~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~
She’s the twenty on the sidewalk
When you don’t have a dime
Confirmation from the Doctor
Chemo worked, and you’ll be fine
On a freezing cold morning
She’s the warmth of a fire
For me, she is everything
That Love does require
~~*~~
