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, loves 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
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
Its just this crazy life
Its just this crazy life
Just 18 had your first child
You were beaten, abused, and torn
Five years on when the papers 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 Ill be there
To make it all OK
To make it go away
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
Its just this crazy life
Its just this crazy life
So sleep tight…
