Wrong Way

I know I'm not the smartest one.

And I know I'm not the prettiest one either.

I know I can't get a date like the other girls can

And I know I'm not the life of the party

I don't know where I'm headed in life

But I know I'm going in the right direction.

You steer me the wrong way

With all your bad words

You steer me the wrong way

With all your disapproving glares

You steer me in the wrong

And all I want is to go the right way.

You tell me that I am wrong

You say I am a slacker

You tell me that I'm killing myself

You say that I don't care

You tell me I'm not good enough for things

You think your helping but you're pushing me in the wrong direction

You steer me the wrong way

With all your bad words

You steer me the wrong way

With all your disapproving glares

You steer me in the wrong

And all I want is to go the right way.

I know I've stepped onto the wrong path

And I just want to get back on track

But I'm not being given the chance to do that

And I know what I must do now

But there's someone in my way

And that person is you mother.

You steer me the wrong way

With all your bad words

You steer me the wrong way

With all your disapproving glares

You steer me in the wrong

And all I want is to go the right way.
