Music we love - Justin Bieber - One Time

http://www.youtube.com/user/kidrauhl?blend=1&ob=4 This song is by Justin Bieber. If you are the parent of a tweener and you don't know his name, you will.  The first time I heard him, I knew he woud be the next David Cassidy, Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake. Different decades, same message. Here are his lyrics...

One Time
Songwriters: Bunton, James; Cole, Corron Ty Kee; Nkhereanye, Thabiso; Stewart, Christopher;

Me plus you, I'ma tell you one time
Me plus you, I'ma tell you one time

One time, one time

When I met you girl my heart went knock knock
Now them butterflies in my stomach won't stop stop
And even though it's a struggle love is all we got
And we gon' keep keep climbing to the mountain top


Your world is my world
And my fight is your fight
My breath is your breath
And your heart


And girl you're my one love, my one heart
My one life for sure
Let me tell you one time
(Girl, I love, girl I love you)

And I'ma be your one guy
You'll be my #1 girl
Always making time for you
You look so deep, you know that it humbles me
You're by my side, them troubles them not trouble me
Many have called but the chosen is you
Whatever you want shawty I'll give it to you


Your world is my world
And my fight is your fight
My breath is your breath
And your heart


And girl you're my one love, my one heart
My one life for sure
Let me tell you one time
(Girl, I love, girl I love you)
I'ma tell you one time
(Girl, I love, girl I love you)


And I'ma be your one guy
You'll be my #1 girl
Always making time for you
Shawty right there
She's got everything I need
And I'ma tell her one time
Give you everything you need down to my last dime
She makes me happy
I know where I'll be
Right by your side
'Cause she is the one
And girl you're my one love, my one heart
My one life for sure
Let me tell you one time
(Girl, I love, girl I love you)

Me plus you, I'ma tell you one time

Me plus you, I'ma tell you one time

Me plus you, I'ma tell you one time

One time, one time.

He's 15 but he is telling our daughters everything they want to hear right now.  You can do the same thing. Let her know how important she is to you and that you would do anything for her and she is your number one priority.  It will prevent her from looking for someone else to play that part in her life.  I played that role as long as I could. My 14 year old actually held my hand as we walked across the parking lot to the grocery store. The next year, she stopped. I'm sure that was a good thing. But I stayed a central figure, continued to have a close, intimate relationship with her.
Rub their backs, play with their hair while you watch tv. Let them snuggle with you. Girls just want that loving attention. She's in her 20's now. My role is changing but it's not over yet.
