Lyrics & Translation
English
I'm standin' on an open world
I've gotta try so hard for myself
Not including the ones that I love
I call my family
It's not hard when your focus is a beautiful girl
A brand new baby, she's a baby girl
And yes she is a cutie like her mommy
She looks like her mommy
We both know who we are
And I'm not changing a thing,
I've never changed before
If lovin' me is work, I'm not a job to take
I think we're headin' for the crazy-making heartbreak
I'm wonderin' why I'm sittin' here, alone again
Why you always crush me,
Why it's never easy
Easy, easy, easy, it's not easy
This is you, this is me,
You won't be a part of what we need to be
Not for me, for the future of us three
For our daughter college, family, sudden-health emergencies
You think it's easy pickin' money off my Money Tree?
With two houses, both cars,
I paid off your fucking credit card debt,
Did you already forget? Huh?
You threaten, threaten, threaten, threaten, threaten, huh
Just fucking leave,
Find a man who will put up with this
We both know who we are
And I'm not changing a thing,
I've never changed before
If lovin' me is work, I'm not a job to take
I think we're headin' for the crazy-making heartbreak
I can't help but think
Of how good you are with our baby daughter
Half the time a single mother
When I go away it's so that you can always stay home
And watch your baby grow, bring her up the right way
You never take it that way
We both know who we are
And I'm not changing -
I need support, not a slap in the face
You have to trust me or I'm sure this will blow up in your face
Our love was such an angel, she doesn't even know
We've torn each other down in ways we don't even know
We both know who we are
And I'm not changing a thing,
I've never changed before
If lovin' me is work, I'm not a job to take
I think we're headin' for the crazy-making heartbreak
I can't help but think
Of how good you are with our baby daughter
Half the time a single mother
When I go away it's so that you can always stay home
And watch your baby grow, bring her up the right way
It's me the one who has his family's future at heart
It's you the one who never wants a family apart
We both know that together we can only believe
That if we cut the shit there'd be no reason to leave

The Money Tree (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Estoy parado en un mundo abierto
Tengo que esforzarme mucho por mí mismo
Sin incluir a los que amo
A quienes llamo mi familia
No es difícil cuando tu enfoque es una chica hermosa
Una bebé nueva, es una niña
Y sí, es una monada como su mami
Se parece a su mami
Ambos sabemos quiénes somos
Y no voy a cambiar nada,
Nunca he cambiado antes
Si amarme es trabajo, no soy un trabajo para tomar
Creo que nos dirigimos a una angustia enloquecedora
Me pregunto por qué estoy sentado aquí, solo otra vez
Por qué siempre me aplastas,
Por qué nunca es fácil
Fácil, fácil, fácil, no es fácil
Esta eres tú, este soy yo,
No serás parte de lo que necesitamos ser
No por mí, por el futuro de nosotros tres
Para la universidad de nuestra hija, la familia, emergencias de salud repentinas
¿Crees que es fácil recoger dinero de mi Árbol del Dinero?
Con dos casas, ambos coches,
Pagué tu maldita deuda de tarjeta de crédito,
¿Ya lo olvidaste? ¿Eh?
Amenazas, amenazas, amenazas, amenazas, amenazas, ¿eh?
Simplemente vete a la mierda,
Encuentra un hombre que aguante esto
Ambos sabemos quiénes somos
Y no voy a cambiar nada,
Nunca he cambiado antes
Si amarme es trabajo, no soy un trabajo para tomar
Creo que nos dirigimos a una angustia enloquecedora
No puedo evitar pensar
En lo buena que eres con nuestra hija pequeña
La mitad del tiempo una madre soltera
Cuando me voy es para que tú siempre puedas quedarte en casa
Y ver a tu bebé crecer, criarla de la manera correcta
Nunca lo tomas de esa manera
Ambos sabemos quiénes somos
Y no estoy cambiando -
Necesito apoyo, no una bofetada en la cara
Tienes que confiar en mí o estoy seguro de que esto te explotará en la cara
Nuestro amor era un ángel, ella ni siquiera lo sabe
Nos hemos destrozado de maneras que ni siquiera conocemos
Ambos sabemos quiénes somos
Y no voy a cambiar nada,
Nunca he cambiado antes
Si amarme es trabajo, no soy un trabajo para tomar
Creo que nos dirigimos a una angustia enloquecedora
No puedo evitar pensar
En lo buena que eres con nuestra hija pequeña
La mitad del tiempo una madre soltera
Cuando me voy es para que tú siempre puedas quedarte en casa
Y ver a tu bebé crecer, criarla de la manera correcta
Soy yo quien tiene el futuro de su familia en el corazón
Eres tú quien nunca quiere una familia separada
Ambos sabemos que juntos solo podemos creer
Que si dejamos las tonterías no habría razón para irse
