Mama please stop ( crying);
I can't (stand ) the sound;
Your pain is (painful );
And it's ( tearing) 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, (grown ) 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?);
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;
;
Daddy please stop ( yelling);
(Stop);
I can't (stand ) the sound;
Make Mama stop (crying );
'Cause I need you (around );
My mama, she loves you;
(I know it);
No matter what she says is ( true);
I know that she (hurt ) you;
But remember I love you too;
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);
It ain't easy (grown ) up in World War III;
Never knowin' what love could be;
That I've seen, I don't want love to (destroy ) me;
Like it (did ) my family;
Can we work it out?;
(Can we work it?);
Can we be a family?;
I promise I'll be better;
(I promise I'll do anything);
Mommy, I'll do anything;
(To keep you better);
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;
(Stay);
In our family portrait;
(In our family portrait);
We look pretty happy;
(We look pretty happy);
Let's play ( pretend);
Let's ( exactly) like it comes naturally;
(That's right);
(That's right);
I don't wanna have to (split) the holidays;
(No, no);
I don't want two addresses;
(No);
I don't want a (step-brother ) anyways;
And I don't want my Mommy;
Have to change her last name!;
