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...
