Tough Love (Remix) - PattyCake

Lyrics by：Layne Stein/Anthony Wakim

Composed by：Layne Stein/Anthony Wakim

Ever since I was a girl my own mother vowed

I must find the way to power through a noble brow

I married once for love then my senses came

I must marry for the stature of my husband's name

Onto marriage number two

I knew what I had to do

And my poor husband fell ill in a year or two

Solved problem number one now problem number two

His doe-eyed little girl with gentle point of view

Would I ship her off to school

No I told her if she stayed that she'd have

To earn her keep and so she became the maid

She was lazy

She was crazy

She was talking to the mice

Lady Tremaine：

She was hopelessly naive so she had to pay the price

I moved her to the attic out of sight and out of mind

I could have thrown her out but I'm benevolent and kind

Benevolent and kind

Benevolent and kind

Drizella/Anastasia：

Mother your heart's too big for you

Lady Tremaine：

I knew what I had to do

I knew what I had to do

After all difficult children will take advantage of your good nature

So you lock them up throw away the key

There's one on every family tree

Ungrateful

Hateful

Vile too the things she put you through

Lady Tremane：

Break their spirit so they obey

Now they'll do anything you say

Maybe you'd call it cruel but others would call it love

Tough love

I ask you is it a crime to strive for perfection in all things

Mother Gothel：

Oh no they're so cute when they're little but

Then they grow up and just ruin everything

I never wanted children life was better on my own

All the screaming nagging chilled me to the bone

But then one day I came across a flower growing free

It's magic kept me young so I kept it all for me

But someone dug it up now a baby held the power

So I borrowed her locked her up and hid her in a tower

Years went by

Oh the sacrifice

And against my better judgment I fed her once or twice

Teenagers now I know I wild eat their young

But that's messy

Manipulation's easily more fun

A little guilt a lot of force of course you have to lie

Remind them that without you they'd shrivel up and die

They only have themselves to blame

If you'd been there you'd do the same

So work them hard 'til they fall in line

There's one way and it's only mine

Evil Queen：

Children are lazy

Lady Tremaine：

Spoiled too

But we know what to do

Evil Queen：

Govern them with a heart of stone

Lady Tremaine：

Lock them up so they're all alone

Mother Gothel：

Maybe you'd call it cruel but

Others would call it love tough love

Mother Gothel：

Ugh her own tower with a water view and

She runs away the first chance she gets

Evil Queen：

These wretched brats think the world owes them something

But it doesn't

Far and wide I rule the kingdom with a heavy hand

But there was more I had in mind a greater plan

I never cared to share so the king would have to fall

But his child blocked the way to me and fairest of them all

She was chubby she was dumb

And grotesquely optimistic

She needed structure in her life

She wasn't realistic

I gave her chores and took away the things that she'd enjoy

But then I caught her singing songs with birds

And then a boy

Love was I just sit by and wait

For her to take my crown

No

She had sealed her fate

She had to go and so she did and you know what they say

An apple once a day keeps your enemies away

Don't be fooled by their tender smile

Lady Tremaine：

Give an inch and they'll run a mile

Our idea of a happy home

Is one where we live all alone

Mother Gothel：

Dark

Lady Tremaine：

Depressing

Evil Queen：

Desolate

Now let's all drink to that

Drizella/Anastasia：

Call us wicked call us mean

Lady Tremaine：

Cruel and everything in between

Mother Gothel：

You could say it's unjust

Evil Queen：

Turning their dreams to dust

This is what we call love love love

Tough love
