Mama please stop cryin', I can't stand the sound
Your pain is painful and it's tearing me down
I told God you didn't mean those nasty things you said
You fight about money, 'bout me and my brothers and sis
And this I come home to, this is my shelter
Your pain is painful and it's tearing me down
I told God you didn't mean those nasty things you said
You fight about money, 'bout me and my brothers and sis
And this I come home to, this is my shelter
It ain't easy growin' up in world war three
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 be stupid!

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
and remember I love you, too!

In our family portrait we look pretty happy
Let's play pretend, let's act like it comes naturally
