LYRIC FOR SALE

By Cianna Heatth

He was just sixteen
when he found out about me
But he was so excited
he was gonna be a daddy

There's a picture of him holding me
in his high school cap and gown
And from the smile on his face
you can tell he'd never been so proud
Until you see the one
of him standing next to me
In my own cap and gown
holding my degree

The pictures tell the story
Better than my words can
Sometimes it takes a boy
To raise a woman
Yeah, sometimes it takes a boy
To raise a woman

There's one of him letting me
drink beer when I was two
In another he's teaching me
how to tie my shoes
Here we're blowing out the candles,
making a birthday wish
Look how thrilled he was
when I caught my first fish

The pictures tell the story
Better than my words can
Sometimes it takes a boy
To raise a woman
Yeah, sometimes it takes a boy
To raise a woman

Here he is walking me down the aisle
Here he is holding his first grandchild
In every picture you can tell we were so happy
And I wouldn't be who I am if that boy hadn't raised me

The pictures tell the story
Better than my words can
Sometimes it takes a boy
To raise a woman
Yeah, sometimes it takes a boy
To raise a woman

He was just sixteen
when he found out about me
But he was so excited
he was gonna be a daddy

Sometimes it takes a boy
To raise a woman
Yeah, sometimes it takes a boy
To raise a little girl into a woman
