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...
