Písně ze Superstar
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 well I've seen
I don't want love to destroy me 
like it did 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
