It's obvious the trouble we're in

When your father pulls up in a Mercedes Benz

He says he just happened to be in the neighborhood

But before he leaves he slips the landlord the rent

You say, "It's just a question of eliminating

obstacles"

As you throw your dinner out the kitchen door

You say, "I know how you try"

But honey, let's eat out tonight

[Chorus]

No one said it would be easy

But no one said it'd be this hard

No one said it would be easy

No one thought we'd come this far

You can't seem to ever fold up a shirt

I bring it up and you think I'm a jerk

But I think we're here to stay

I can't imagine it any other way

Chorus

Sometimes I wonder who he's picturing

When he looks at me and smiles

Chorus

Oh, and look we've come this far
