Mama please stop (1) ___
I can't stand the sound
Your pain is painful
And it's (2) ___ me down

I hear glasses (3) ___
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, (4) ___ in World War III
Never (5) ___ 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 (5) ___
I can't stand the sound
Make Mama stop (6) ___
'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
Don't wanna go back to that place
But don't have no choice, no way

In our family portrait
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
(No)
I don't want a stepbrother anyways
And I don't want my Mommy
Have to change her last name!

In our family portrait
We look pretty happy
We look pretty normal
Let's go back to that
