A sad, sad song!

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, (going ) 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;

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 ( hurts) 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 (going ) 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;

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);

We look pretty happy;

Let's play (pretend );

Let's (act ) like it comes naturally;
(That's right);

I don't wanna have to (split ) the holidays;
(No, no);
I don't want two addresses;

I don't want a (step-brother ) anyways;
And I don't want my Mommy;
Have to change her last name!;

I'll go to sleep at night;
