can we work it out?

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 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 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 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 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 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.. 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 step-brother anyways, and I don’t want my mom to have to change her last name..
