Jill Sobule - The Gifted Child Lyrics

What a bright girl, what a beautiful girl
She's gonna be somebody someday
We'll take her to the best schools
She will be a prodigy
Nothing's gonna stand in her way

She'll be what they raised her to be
Never had the opportunity
To fulfill their broken dreams

The gifted child
The gifted child

What a good girl, an exceptional girl
She'll make some man real happy someday
She's gonna be her father's pride, the perfect bride
She won't make her mother's mistake

She'll be what they raised her to be
It's a big responsibility
To fulfill their broken dreams
They'll live through her

The gifted child [Repeats]
