Lyrics of That's the Way by KC
verse
Emily comes home from school,
Grabs onto her daddy's hand,
He says "baby girl what's wrong with you?"
She says "please don't make me go back there again"
verse
She said "I wish there was some way
To make them stop it"
So he drives down to
That principles ofice and says
chorus
"I didn't bring her up
So they could cut her down
I didn't bring her here
So they could shut her out
I live my whole damn life
To see that little girl smile
So why are tears pouring down
That sweet face?
She wasn't brought up that way"
verse
Emily's home late again
He sees that boy drive away
Oh but something different this time,
She doesn't have too much to say
She said "he tried but
There's just some things I won't do"
And through the tears
She said "I couldn't do that to you"
And he said
chorus
"I didn't bring you up
So he could wear
You down
Take that innocent heart
And turn it inside out
I live my whole damn life
To see my little girl's smile
So don't let nobody take that away,
You werny brought up that way"
verse
The phone ring on a rainy night
Says "it's officer tate"
He said "sir there's been an accident,
You better come down here right away,
A drunken driver missed an over pass,
And emily, she's fading fast"
He says "god, I didn't bring her up
To watch them lay her down
Nearly killed me today,
They put her own
Momma in the ground
Only thing that ket me alive,
Was that little girl's smile
So please don't take that away,
I won't be easy taking her today,
She wasn't brought up that way"
outro
He stands over the hospital bed
Emily opens her eyes
