Romanovsky & Phillips – I've Created A Monster lyrics

(The best laid plans of love and support can backfire...)
I remember fondly the days when we first met
You were shy and awkward, afraid of life and yet
You were enchanting and so cute
Your innocence was charming as was your naivete
But now it seems you've learned the ropes and much to my dismay
You have become much more astute
And I'm afraid I've made a big mistake
By giving you the confidence to get you on your feet
Now you are so self-assured
It borders on conceit
Oh it seems I've made a monster out of you
You were terrified of people when I knew you long ago
You'd never go to parties, you'd rather stay at home
And be with just the two of us
But still I tried to push you to come out of your shell
I didn't ask you to forget me darlin' but I might as well
Have said to leave me in your dust
And I'm afraid I've made a big mistake
By teaching you the social skills you previously lacked
Now your popularity's
An undisputed fact
Oh it seems I've made a monster out of you
Oh why, why, why did I encourage your individuality?
You were perfectly content to live in co-dependency
You used to lean on me for strength
I gladly gave you my support
But now you've fallen out of love
And all my dreams have fallen short
I thought perhaps together we both could be secure
But now I am the frightened one and you're not even sure
That you still want to be with me
Now you can't stop your flirting almost everywhere we go
All the men are fawning and you just can't say "no"
To every handsome face you see
And I'm afraid I've made a big mistake
By giving you the love that you've so often been denied
Now my love is not enough
To keep you satisfied
Oh it seems I've made a monster out of you
