That Was The Plan - Melinda Schneider

You took me out on a date
I said I wouldn’t out too late
Agreed to let you just hold my hand
I drew a line in the sand
You tried to kiss me in your car
I warned you to stay where you are
Definitely didn’t want no man
At least that was the plan
At least that was the plan

Well I’m about to drop my fifth child
Other four running wild
Chewing gum in her hair
Fire started over there
They’re all yelling and I’m thinking to myself
I only meant to hold your hand
At least that was the plan

Now they’re running with scissors and they’re falling out of trees
I kiss and make better all the skinned up knees
Uh ah honey don’t paint the cat she won’t look good like that
And I’m climbing over words that they wrote on the wall
Number two poked three right in the eyeball
Cool, calm, collected that’s what I am
At least that was the plan
At least that was the plan

Well I’m about to drop my fifth child
Other four running wild
Chewing gum in her hair
Fire started over there
They’re all yelling and I’m thinking to myself
I only meant to hold your hand
At least that was the plan

Solo

You know I love my baby they’re my family
But on the days they get the best of me
I carry on the best I can

Now they finish their dinner and it’s up the stairs
I tuck them into bed and then we say our prayers
I thank God it isn’t in my hands
I guess that was the plan
I guess that was the plan
