Pink

Uh, uh
Some deep shit
Uh, uh
Look at that
Uh, uh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 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 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) 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 yellin (oh)
I can't stand the sound (can't stand the sound)
Make mama stop cryin
Cuz I need you around (yeah)
My mama, she loves you (I know)
No matter what she says it's 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, 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, oh…

Can we work it out (can we work it out, oh…)
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 (I promise, I promise)
Daddy, please don't leave (yeah)
