Analysis of My boy
Tiffany Poppa 1980 (Missouri)
so sweet and innocent
so happy and carefree
not a worry in the world
just you and me
my little baby boy
growing up so fast
theres been many changes
as the years pass
we've been through alot
had our ups and downs
but somehow we always
turn things around
i want you to know
life is gonna be tough
youll want to call it quits
when youv had enough
well dont give up son
not without a fight
you can have everything
if you play your cards rite
