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

We look pretty normal

SO let's go back to that

In our family portrait

We look pretty happy

Let's play pretend act

Like it goes naturally

Daddy please don't

Leave
