Mama please stop cryin'
I can't stand the sound
Your pain is painful and it's
Tearing 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 3
Never known 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 yelling (stop)
I can't stand the sound (can't stand the sound)
Make mama stop cryin'
'Cause I need you around (yeah yeah yeah)
My mama she loves you (I know it)
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 (no choice, no way)
It ain't easy, growin' up in world war 3
Never knowin' what love could be
But I've seen, I don't want love to destroy me
Like it did my family
Can we work it out (Can we work it out ohhhhhh!)
Can we be a family
I promise I'll be better (I promise)
Mommy I'll do anything (Anything to keep you here!!!!)
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
In our family portrait (In our family portrait)
We look pretty happy (We look pretty happy)
Let's play pretend, let's act like it (let's act let's act let's act like it comes)
Comes naturally
I don't wanna have to split the holidays (no no)
I don't want two addresses (no no no no nooo)
I don't want a stepbrother anyways
And I don't want my mom to have to change her last name!!!!
Ohhhhhhhh no no no no no noooooooohhhhh no no no no no
(Little kidz chorus)
In our family portrait
We look pretty happy
We look pretty normal
Lets go back to that
In our family portrait
We look pretty happy
Lets play pretend, act like it
Goes naturally
In our family portrait (Can we work it out)
We look pretty happy (Can we be a family)
We look pretty normal (I promise I'll be better)
Lets go back to that (Mommy I'll do anything)
In our family portait (Can we work it out)
We look pretty happy (Can we be a family)
Lets play pretend (I promise I'll be better)
Act like it goes naturally,(Daddy please don't leave)
Oh lets go back Oh lets go back that
Remember the days, remember the days
In our family portrait (Can we work it out)
We look pretty happy (Can we be a family)
We look pretty normal (I promise I'll be better)
Lets go back to that (Mommy I'll do anything)
In our family portait (Can we work it out)
We look pretty happy (Can we be a family)
We look pretty normal (I promise I'll be better)
Please go back to that (Daddy please don't leave)
That!!! ohhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
Remember that the night you left
You took my shining star
Daddy don't leave...
Daddy don't leave...
Daddy don't leave...
Don't leave us here alone
Mama'll be nicer
I'll be so much better
I'll tell my brother
Oh I won't spill the milk at dinner
I'll be so much better
I'll do everything right
I'll be your little girl forever
I'll go to sleep at night

Hey pink i love your songs im doing a assignment on you and family portrait,it's a privlige to be able to write about such an awsome person...remember "giving up sosn't always mean you are weak somtimes it means that you are strong enough to let go". i know uv'e had it tough but don't give up...U ROK!!

Just my life | Reviewer: Leena | 4/7/08
When I first heard this song some years ago I started crying. It is just so close to my life. I spend hours searching for the name and for the lyrics of this song. And now that I know it, all I do is listen to it, over and over again. This is the best song that I've ever heard. And Pink has the best voice on earth. :)
I think this is one of the best songs I have ever herd in my life I listen to it over and over again it sends a strong message and a true look at how familys go through things and how they are it also tells a story of a young pink and how she felt deep down when her family went through hard times I love this song and wish there were more like it.
This Song Is The Song I used to listen to Non-Stop During My Parents Divorce. And Now Everytime I Listen to it, I Relieve the Emotions I went through, during that stage in my life.
It's just a beautiful song. Sad. But So Beautiful.
When the first time I heard this song, I cried. I felt her pain. But if you look at it, yeah it's a sad song, but it's also therapy for her. Her relationship with her mother and father is much better now than it was before she did this song. So I'm glad she done it. It had made her a better person.
