Remember when I was little?
I asked you things.

What is sex?
What are drugs?
Are they like medicine?
What is alcohol?
Do you drink it?

You said to me,
With my innocent face,
I'll talk about it
When you're older.

Well, I'm older now, Dad.
But you're not talking.

I asked about condoms
You thought I was pregnant.

If drugs were illegal
You thought I smoked.

What alcohol does to you
You thought I'd been drinking.

Well here's a question for you, Dad
Will you ever just listen?
