lyrics

What do you want me to do Alice,
do, Alice, do
What do you want me to do, Alice,
do, Alice, do

you want me to have some great career
Alice, some great career
then your mad I'm never here
never,

Didn’t turn out the way we thought it would
still Alice what we’ve got is good
what we've got is good
Didn’t turn out the way we thought it would
still Alice what we’ve got is good

don’t like how I take care of the kid, Alice,
I do more than my dad ever did
than my dad ever did
ever did

you’re mad that he’s just sitting in there, Alice
in his playpen he’s supposed to be practicing his violin
but he’s only nine months, maybe ten

everyone knows you’re smarter than me
you’re the one whose got that degree
you were the one who was supposed to
go light up the world
go light up the world
