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
