Little sister a few months old |
|
Died in the crib it smelled so bad |
|
Survived on the neighbors' milk you stole |
|
Never knew mom and you never saw dad |
|
Lost in foster home confusion |
|
In your eyes, love's just an illusion |
|
Defensive all your life |
|
Wish I could make it all a lie |
|
And say its just OK |
|
And make it go away |
|
CHORUS: You, you can lay down mama |
|
Let me be your cover |
|
Let me be your mother |
|
You, you can break down |
|
Cause I know that you can take it |
|
Wish I could explain it |
|
It's just this crazy life |
|
It's just this crazy life |
|
Just 18 had your first child |
|
You were beaten, abused, and torn |
|
Five years on when the paper's filed |
|
Still you never knew when you were born |
|
So mama tell me a bedtime story |
|
Say a little prayer so not to worry |
|
Make a wish up in the air |
|
Say a word and I'll be there |
|
To make it all OK |
|
To make it go away |
|
CHORUS: You, you can lay down mama |
|
Let me be your cover |
|
Let me be your mother |
|
You, you can break down |
|
Cause I know that you can take it |
|
Wish I could explain it |
|
It's just this crazy life |
|
It's just this crazy life |
|
So sleep tight... |
