Well that phone doesn't ring when you want it to And it isn't your dream on the line It's just dad telling mom to have dinner without him 'Cause he won't be coming home on time
Well there's always that dance to escape to But that doesn't always work out You don't have a date; you're not going alone Isn't it nice to know you can still come home?
Well you don't have a million friends to speak of But a best one is all that you need - oh Growing up so strong but you're not made of stone Isn't it nice to come home?
In the real world you're not always welcome And all's not forgive and forget It's a cruel world without understanding And little one it's not over yet
Well you never can trust a stranger So you may as well give up this fight - oh Your best friend's are waiting in the living room So go on and kiss them good night
