Bend a Little, Bend a Lot

My mother's from the Philippines she said there she lived differently
And wasn't much opportunity growing up on a poor family and
My father grew up in the plains, the man himself doing what he can and
All the way to his deathbed, working to the bone for someone else's bread

They bend a little, bend a lot
That's how they that's how they got what they want
They bend a little, bend a lot
That's how they that's how they got what they want
Oh, that's the way it goes

My sister's calm, cool and collected,
broken down being been rejected she said
Hey I've got something maybe, but my family no they don't notice me
My brother's got the head for what he wanna,
gone to Ottawa to avoid the drama
He said, 'hey I'm gonna make it on my own instead' that's what he said, that's what he did

They bend a little, bend a lot
That's how they that's how they got what they want
They bend a little, bend a lot
That's how they that's how they got what they want
Oh, that's the way it goes

Baby, baby, I'm the baby, and my family's there to save me
I know I know I got it best, something higher than the rest
But I never never never never would be here at all
If it wasn't for my family keeping me strong

So, I'll bend a little, I'll bend a lot
That's how I that's how I'll get what I want
I'll bend a little, bend a lot
That's how I that's how I'll get what I want

Bend a little, bend a lot
That's how I that's how I'll get what I want
Bend a little, bend a lot
That's how I that's how I'll get what I want
Bend a little, bend a lot
That's how I that's how I'll get what I want
That's how I that's how I'll get what I want
That's how I that's how I'll get what I want
