Hall & Oates - The Provider lyrics

She's the mother, I'm the provider I'm the father, she is my child She is the border, I'm the divider Remember the time That we used to run wild We were free Like a fish in the sea is When there's nobody fishin' around To be free, to be what I wanted to be Spread my wings and you can't bring me down, yeah I am the teacher, she's my student She is the preacher, I'm her convert I am the seeker, she is the answer Making it somehow, forgetting the hunt To be free Like a fish in the sea is When there's nobody fishin' around To be free, to be what I wanted to be Spread my wings and you can't bring me down We'd often sit at separate tables We'd share the same bed every night Forget the morals and the fables Sometimes they make you feel That it's not right, it's not right She is the summer, I am the winter I am the poet, she is my soul Sharing it all because we're always together Remember the times that I wanted to go And be free Like a fish in the sea is When there's nobody fishin' around To be free, to be what I wanted to be Free when there's nobody fishin' around She is the mother, I am the provider She is the mother, I am the provider She is the mother, I am the provider
