Artist/Band: Pink
Lyrics for Song: Family Portrait
Lyrics for Album: The Best Of BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge [2011]



Uh, uh, some deep shit

Uh, uh, look alright?

Right, right?

Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah



Momma, please stop cryin'

I can't stand the sound

Your pain is painful

And it's tearin' me down



I hear glasses breaking

As I sit up in my bed

I told God 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 growing up in World War III

Never knowin' 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 yellin' (Stop)

I can't stand the sound

(Can't stand the sound)

Make mama stop cryin'

'Cause I need you around

(Yeah, 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)

Don't wanna go back to that place

But don't have no choice, no way



It ain't easy growin' up in World War III

Never knowin' what love could be, I've seen

I don't want love to destroy me

(I don't want it to)

Like it did my family



Can we work it out?

(Can we work this out?)

Can we be a family? (No)

I promise I'll be better (I promise)

Mommy, I'll do anything

(I'll do anything to keep you there)



Can we work it out?

Can we be a family?

I promise I'll be better

(I promise, I promise)

Daddy, please don't leave

(Stay)



In our family portrait

(In our family portrait)

We look pretty happy

(We look pretty happy)

Let's play pretend

(Let's play, let's play)

Let's act like it comes naturally

(Let's play pretend)



I don't wanna have to split the holidays

(Oh-oh)

I don't want two addresses

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

I don't want a step-brother anyways

And I don't want my mom to have

To change her last name



In our family portrait (Oh, oh)

We look pretty happy

(No, no, no, no, no, no)

We look pretty normal

(La, la, la, la, la, la)

Let's go back to that



In our family portrait

We look pretty happy

Let's play pretend

Act like it goes naturally



Can we work it out?

(Family portrait)

Can we be a family?

(Pretty happy)

I promise I'll be better

(Pretty normal)

Mommy, I'll do anything

(Let's go back to that)



Can we work it out?

(In our family portrait)

Can we be a family?

(Pretty happy)

I promise I'll be better

(Let's play pretend)

Daddy, please don't leave

(Oh let's go back, oh let's go back to that)



Can we work it out?

(In our family portrait) (Remember the days?)

Can we be a family?

(Pretty happy) (Remember the days?)

I promise I'll be better

(Pretty normal)

Mommy, I'll do anything

(Let's go back to that)



Can we work it out?

(In our family portrait)

Can we be a family?

(Pretty happy)

I promise I'll be better

(Pretty normal) (Pretty, pretty happy)

Daddy, please don't leave

(Please, go back to that) (Let's go back!)



Don't leave, don't leave

Daddy don't leave, daddy don't leave



Daddy don't leave

Daddy don't leave

Daddy don't leave

Turn around please



Oh my

Remember that the night you left?

You took my shining star



Daddy don't leave

Daddy don't leave

Daddy don't leave

Don't leave us here alone



Mom will 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



Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Huh, hah, hah-ah, yeah
