Mother,

Mother, leave my father and get me out of this hell

Mother, pull the car up, we can make a new life for ourselves

Mother, leave my father before he gets back in

Mother, I know it's hard, but we gotta get away from him

Do it for the children

Do it for me

Mother, leave my father and save me from this life

Mother, get an apartment and learn to love someone kind

Mother, hear my heart, it's thumping like the skin of a drum

Mother, I love who you are, but you gotta be the bigger one

Do it for the children

Do it for the children

And we'll start over again

In a house from the magazine

Safe inside a picket fence

With a great big trampoline

And we'll have so many friends

They'll live right on down the street

And we'll never be scared again

We will be a family

Mother

Leave my father

I go up

You go down

Way up in the clouds

I go up

You go down

Never coming down

Mother

Leave my father

Do it for the children

Do it for the children

And we'll start over again

In a house from the magazine

Safe inside a picket fence

With a great big trampoline

And we'll have so many friends

They'll live right on down the street

And we'll never be scared again

We will be a family, family

And we'll start over again

In a house from the magazine

Safe inside a picket fence

With a great big trampoline

And we'll have so many friends

They'll live right on down the street

And we'll never be scared again

We will be a family, family
