Well that phone doesn't ring when you want it to
  And it isn't your dream on the line
  It's just dad telling mom to have dinner without him
  'Cause he won't be coming home on time
  
  Well there's always that dance to escape to
  But that doesn't always work out
  You don't have a date; you're not going alone
  Isn't it nice to know you can still come home?
  
  Well you don't have a million friends to speak of
  But a best one is all that you need - oh
  Growing up so strong but you're not made of stone
  Isn't it nice to come home?
  
  In the real world you're not always welcome
  And all's not forgive and forget
  It's a cruel world without understanding
  And little one it's not over yet
  
  Well you never can trust a stranger
  So you may as well give up this fight - oh
  Your best friend's are waiting in the living room
  So go on and kiss them good night
