uh uh
Momma please
stop cryin
I can't stand
the sound
Your pain
is painful
and its
tearin me down
I hear glasses
breakin
as I sit up
in my bed
I told dad
you didn't mean
those nasty
things you said
You fight
about money
bout me and
my brother
And this
I come home to
this is my shelter
It ain't easy
growin up
in World War III
Never knowin
what love could be
you'll see
I don't want love
to destroy me
like it has done
my family
Can we work it out
Can we be a family
I promise
I'll be better
Mommy I'll
do anything
Can we work it out
Can we be a family
I promise
I'll be better
Daddy please don't
leave
Daddy please
stop yellin
I can't stand
the sound
Make mama
stop cryin
cuz I need you
around
My mama she
loves you
no matter
what she says
its true
I know that
she hurts you
but remember
I love you too
I ran away today
ran from the noise
ran away
Don't wanna
go back to
that place
but don't have
no choice
no way
It ain't easy
growin up
in World War III
Never knowin
what love could be
well I've seen
I don't want love
to destroy me
like it did my
family
Can we work it out
Can we be a family
I promise
I'll be better
Mommy I'll
do anything
Can we work it out
Can we be a family
I promise
I'll be better
Daddy please don't
leave
In our family
portrait
we look
pretty happy
Let's play pretend
let's act like
it comes
naturally
I don't wanna have
to split
the holidays
I don't want
two addresses
I don't want
a step-brother
anyways
And I don't want
my mom to have to
change her
last name
In our family
portrait
we look
pretty happy
We look
pretty normal
let's go back
to that
