Uh uh some deep shit 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

Let's play pretend let's act like it comes
Naturally

And I don't want my mom to have to change her
