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, (growing ) up in World War III;
Never knowin' what love could be;
You'll see, I don't want love to ( desert)me;
Like it has ( done) my family;
Daddy please stop (yelling );
I can't ( stand) the sound;
Make Mama stop ( crying);
'Cause I need you (around );
My mama, she loves you;
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;
Don't wanna go back to that place;
But don't have no (choice ) , no (way );
It ain't easy ( growing) up in World War III;
Never knowin' what love could be;
That I've seen, I don't want love to ( desert) me;
Like it ( did) my family;
Let's play ( pretending);
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 ( stepbrother) anyways;
And I don't want my Mommy;
Have to change her last name!;
