Lyrics

[Intro]
Ain't nobody home but us
Ain't nobody home
Ain't nobody home
Ain't nobody home
[Verse 1]
Ain't nobody home but us
Daddy's gone and left us all alone
Oh, ain't nobody home
Ain't nobody home
Me and the kids, yeah, all alone
[Verse 2]
I heard her say
Ain't nobody home
I made a change for the kids' sake
Oh, tell me, how long
How long do I have to suffer?
How long do I suffer for one mistake?
So tell me
[Verse 3]
Oh, how long?
Suffering
How long, how long, how long?
Suffering
How long, how long?
Suffering
How long?
Suffering
Is it one day?
Suffering
One year?
Suffering
[Verse 4]
Nobody cares about us no more now
Suffering
At all
Suffering
Make me wanna scream out loud
Suffering
Nobody cares about me
Suffering
Make me wanna fall down on my knees
Suffering
And just hit the floor
Suffering
Beat my head upside the wall, yeah
Suffering
Nobody don't love me no more
Suffering
Make me wanna fall down on the ground
Suffering
[Verse 5]
Oh, everybody put me down
Suffering
Make me wanna scream and cry
Suffering
I just gotta wave my kids bye-bye
Suffering
Make me wanna holler, hey
Suffering
I did it all, I did it all, I did it all for the kids' sake
Suffering
Suffering
[Verse 6]
How long do I have to suffer for one mistake?
Suffering
Don't make me suffer
Suffering
I'm sorry
Suffering
I'm so sorry
Suffering
If I could only have one more chance
Suffering
[Verse 7]
Give me one more chance
Suffering
Give me one more chance
Suffering
One more, one more chance
Suffering
Make me wanna fall down on the ground
Suffering
Beat my head upside the wall
Suffering
Make me wanna cry
What have I done?
Suffering
[Verse 8]
What have I done?
Suffering
What have I done?
Suffering
What have I done?
Suffering
What have I done?
Suffering
Hey, help me
Suffering
Somebody help me
Suffering
[Verse 9]
Need some help
Suffering
Need some help
Suffering
If I take it low
Suffering
Will it help me some more?
Suffering
If I cry
Suffering
If I cry
Will they be satisfied?
[Verse 10]
I give you all my money
Give you my car
I don't wanna see your face
If the police come, I don't wanna know who you are
Just give me back my kids
Suffering
Just give me back my kids
Suffering
[Verse 11]
Let me take a walk
Suffering
I swear, I declare, I won't talk
Suffering
I'm all alone
Suffering
I'm by myself, I'm by myself
Suffering
By myself
Suffering
Ain't nobody home but me
Suffering
Ain't nobody home
Suffering
[Outro]
I don't want no harm
Suffering
I don't need nothin', nothin', nothin'
Suffering
Got everything I own
Suffering
Bring me back my kids
Suffering
Bring me back my kids
