Hey, my girl will you listen?
Little girl, will you listen?
This will stay with you your whole life.
So please don't take for granted, please don't take for granted

Mine was never there for me
Yours is always there you see
There is a great past you'll find
I try to leave my past behind
But it's broken. It's broken.

So please don't take for granted, please don't take for granted
Your Daddy.

Hey there, Mark, will you listen?
You're her Dad, so you listen.
She will stay with you her whole life.
And she won't take for granted, she won't take for granted

Mine was never there for me
Yours is always there you see
There is a great past you'll find
I try to leave my past behind
But it's broken. It's broken.

So please don't take for granted, please don't take for granted
Your Daddy.

Even though he spoils you
That's what he's supposed to do
You are his entire world
You are his little girl

Mine was never there for me
Yours is always there you see
There is a great past you'll find
I try to leave my past behind
But it's broken. It's broken.

So please don't take for granted, please don't take for granted
No, please don't take for granted, please don't take for granted...

Your Daddy

    The twins wrote this song for their little sister, Dresden. Basically, in a nutshell, I think, the girls are hoping Dresden has everything they didn't have growing up. When you look past their racist background and all, this is really a pretty good song.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again.
