Well I'm accustomed to a smooth ride Or maybe I'm a dog who's lost its bite I don't expect to be treated like a fool no more I don't expect to sleep through the night Some people say a lie's a lie's a lie But I say why Why deny the obvious child? Why deny the obvious child?  And in remembering a road sign I am remembering a girl when I was young    And we said These songs are true These days are ours These tears are free And hey  The cross is in the ball park The cross is in the ball park We had a lot of fun We had a lot of money       We had a little son and we thought we'd call him Sonny       Sonny gets married and moves away Sonny has a baby and bills to pay Sonny gets sunnier Day by day by day by day Doh doh  doh doh Doh doh doh doh Well I've been waking up at sunrise I've been following the light across my room I watch the night receive the room of my day   Some people say the sky is just the sky But I say Why deny the obvious child? Why deny the obvious child? Mm...      Sonny sits by his window and thinks to himself How it's strange that some rooms are like cages Sonny's yearbook from high school Is down from the shelf And he id-ly thumbs through the pages Some have died Some have fled from themselves Or struggled from here to get there Sonny wanders beyond his interior walls Runs his hand through his thinning brown hair Well I'm accustomed to a smooth ride Or maybe I'm a dog who's lost its bite I don't expect to be treated like a fool no more I don't expect to sleep through the night Some people say a lie's a lie's a lie But I say the cross is in the ball park Why deny the obvious    child?
