FAMILY PORTRAIT


Intro/Verse/Chorus/Bridge: Cm Fm D# D7 G


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


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


Don't leave... don't leave... Daddy don't leave... 
Don't leave... Daddy don't leave...

Remember that the night you left 
You took my shining star
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

Ooh no Ooh no
Ooh no Ooh
