Tori Amos › Lyrics › '97 Bonnie & Clyde

Baby your da-da loves you and I'm always gonna be here for you
No matter what happened you're all I got in this world
I'd never give you up for nothin'
Nobody in this world is ever gonna keep you from me
I love you

Come on hai-hai, we goin' to the beach
Grab a couple of toys and let da-da strap you in the car seat
Where's mama? She's takin' a little nap in the trunk
Oh that smell da-da must have runned over a skunk

Now I know what you're thinkin' it's kind of late to go swimmin'
But you know your mama, she's one of those type of women
That do crazy things, and if she don't get her way, she'll throw a fit
Don't play with da-da's toy knife, honey, let go of it
And don't look so upset, why you actin' bashful?
Don't you wanna help da-da build a sand castle?

And mama said she wants to show you how far she can float
Don't worry about that little boo-boo on her throat
It's just a little scratch it don't hurt
Her was eatin' dinner while you were sweepin'
And spilled ketchup on her shirt
Mama's messy isn't she? We'll let her wash off in the water
Me and you can pway by ourselves, can't we?

Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Just the two of us

See honey there's a place called heaven and a place called hell
There's a place called prison and a place called jail
And da-da's probably on his way to all of 'em except one
'Cause mama's got a new husband and a stepson
And you don't want a brother do ya?
Maybe when you're old enough to understand
A little better I'll explain it to ya

But for now we'll just say mama was real real bad
She was being mean to dad and made him real real mad
But I still feel sad that I put her on time-out
Sit back in your chair honey, quit tryin' to climb out
I told you it's okay hai-hai wanna ba-ba
Take a night-night? Nan-a-boo, goo-goo ga-ga?
Her make goo-goo ca-ca, da-da change your dia-dee
Clean the baby up so her can take a nighty-nighty

Your dad will wake her up as soon as we get to the water
Ninety-seven Bonnie and Clyde, me and my daughter
Me and my daughter, me and my daughter

Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Just the two of us

Wake up sweepy head we're here
Before we pway we're gonna take mama for a little walk along the pier
Baby, don't cry honey, don't get the wrong idea
Mama's too sweepy to hear you screamin' in her ear
That's why you can't get her to wake, but don't worry
Da-da made a nice bed for mommy at the bottom of the lake

Here, you wanna help da-da tie a rope around this rock?
We'll tie it to her footsie then we'll roll her off the dock
Ready now, here we go, on the count of free
One, two,three
There goes mama, splashin' in the water

No more fightin' with dad, no more restraining order
No more step-da-da, no more brother
Blow her kisses bye bye, tell mommy you love her
Now we'll go play in the sand, build a castle and junk
But first, just help dad with two more things out the trunk

Just the two of us
