Mommy and Daddy (I Promise)

I promise to cry all through the night,
I promise to keep you awake through the night.
I promise to make you play with me at 3 in the morning till Im ready to go to sleep.

I promise to get into everything you tell me not to,
I promise to make everything you say a fun little game.
I promise to do everything you tell me not to.
I promise I will wear make up at a young age.

I promise to wear clothes that drive daddy mad,
I promise to start dating at a young age. 
I promise to bring boys home when youre not there.
I promise to go to wild partys and stay there-without you knowing.

I promise that when a boy breaks my heart-I wont want you and Ill want my 
friends.
I promise that when everything goes wrong-Ill make it your fault.

Yes, we will fight, throw things, and much more.
but I do promise this:

I promise to give it my all in school.
I promise to make something outta my life.
I promise to use condoms (unlike you and daddy).
I promise that I'll never get into drugs.

I promise to never drink and drive.
I promise that no matter what happens in my life
I will always love you both.
Love your little girl
