Uh uh
Oh oh ooh oh oh
Yeah yeah yea yeah
Mama please stop cryin'
I can't stand the sound
Your pain is painful
And it's tearin' me down
I hear glasses breakin'
As I sit up in my bed
I told God
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 lll
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
Can we
I promise
I'll do anything
Daddy please
Stop yellin'
I can't stand the sound
Make mama
Stop cryin'
'Cause I need you
Around
My mama
She loves you
No matter what
She says is true-a
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 lll
Never knowin' what
Love could be
But I've seen
I don't want love
To destroy me
Like it did
My family oh oh oh
Can we work it
Out oh oh woh oh
I promise I'll do
Anything to
Keep you there
I promise I promise
Stay-a
In our family portrait
We look pretty happy
Let's play pretend
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 mom
To have to change
Her last name
Oh woh oh
No no no
No no no no la da da

Remember the days
Remember the days
Oh let's go back to that
In our family portrait
