FAMILY POTRAIT
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 IS I COME HOME TO, THIS IS MY SHELTER
IT AINT EASY GROWING UP IN A 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 PLZ 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 TONIGHT, ran from the noise, ran away
DONT WANNA GO BACK to that place, BUT DONT 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
leave
