Lyrics
[Intro] Uh, uh, some deep shit Uh, uh Look away Uh, uh Oh, oh, oh, oh Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah [Verse 1] Mama please stop crying, I can't stand the sound Your pain is painful and it's tearin' me down I hear glasses breaking, as I sit up in my bed I told God 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 [Pre-Chorus] It ain't easy growing up in World War III Never knowing what love could be, you'll see I don't want love to destroy me like it has done my family [Chorus] Can we work it out? (Can we?) Can we be a family? (Can we?) I promise I'll be better (I promise) Mommy, I'll do anything (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 [Verse 2] Daddy please stop yellin' (Stop) I can't stand the sound (Can't stand the sound) Make mama stop cryin', 'cause I need you around My mama, she loves you (I know it) No matter what she says, it's true I know that she hurts you, but remember, I love you, too [Breakdown] I ran away today Ran from the noise, ran away (Ran away) Don't wanna go back to that place But don't have no choice, no way [Pre-Chorus] It ain't easy growin' up in World War III Never knowing what love could be, well, I've seen I don't want love to destroy me like it did my family [Chorus] Can we work it out? (Can we work it out?) Can we be a family? I promise I'll be better, Mommy, I'll do anything (I promise I'll do anything to keep you there) Can we work it out? Can we be a family? I promise I'll be better (I promise, I promise) Daddy, please don't leave [Bridge] In our family portrait (In our family portrait) We look pretty happy (We look pretty happy) Let's play pretend, let's act like it comes naturally (Let's play, let's play, let's play pretend) 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 [Chorus] In our family portrait, we look pretty happy We look pretty normal, let's go back to that In our family portrait, we look pretty happy Let's play pretend, act like it goes naturally [Chorus] In our family portrait, we look pretty happy (Can we work it out? Can we be a family?) We look pretty normal, let's go back to that (I promise I'll be better, Mommy, I'll do anything) In our family portrait. we look pretty happy (Can we work it out? Can we be a family?) Let's play pretend act and like it comes so naturally (I promise I'll be better, Daddy, please don't leave) In our family portrait we look pretty happy (Can we work it out? Can we be a family?) We look pretty normal, let's go back to that (I promise I'll be better, Daddy, please don't leave) [Bridge] Daddy, don't leave Daddy, don't leave Daddy, don't leave Turn around, please Remember that the night you left? You took my shining star Daddy, don't leave Daddy, don't leave Daddy, don't leave Don't leave us here alone [Outro] Mom will be nicer I'll be so much better, I'll tell my brother Oh, I won't spill the milk at dinner I'll be so much better, I'll do everything right I'll be your little girl forever I'll go to sleep at night
