Because they canât scold her
Thereâs tears in her eyes, she yells and she cries
Her world tumbles down and she wishes to die
She has to comply when her lifeâs gonna rise
She turns to her mom looks her in the eye
âHow could you push him away?
Please mom make him stay!
Weâll wake up tomorrow itâll be a new day!
You can try to work it out
He donât have to bounceâ
Not an ounce of respect
Left death to her parents tongue
This switch ainât gonna be fun
Sheâs done, had enough
Coping with this is bound to be tough
[CHORUS]
One young girl, and she's caught outside in the cold
Scared to the bone, but trying to be bold
But when she wakes up she's all alone
In a broken home
Two months later
Sheâs got miles on her car
From goinâ out to her dadâs
Cause he lives so far
And her momâs cryinâ
Cause she ainât got the first check
Theyâre about to lose their house
But this chick would bet
That if her mom would just
Stop boozinâ and usinâ
Then they would stop losinâ everythinâ that they had
But sheâs so mad, so angry and sad
And she wants more than anything
To live with her dad
But her dadâs generous
With 24 grand a year
And her mom has the nerve
To shed one tear?
So she stands up
Eye to eye, watches her mom cry
And lets out all the feelings inside
She yells
âYo trick stop cryinâ like you dyinâ!
Stop tryinâ to make me feel bad for you!
After all the drama me and my brother been through
You have the nerve, to carry on like you do?
You act like a child, and Iâm your mother
So girl get up and go take care of my brother!
Stop yellinâ at me cause you ainât got no excuse
And Iâm never,
Gonna feel sorry for you!â
[CHORUS]
Now you see my life ân you see what Iâm about
And I doubt even now you can figure me out
Just because I donât have love donât feel for me
Do what you have to do to write your own love story
[CHORUS]
