Tekst :

(Didn t your Mama tell you how to behave,girl?
Didn t your Daddy tell you not to wear that little thing?)
Been told you never get something for nothing
My stepfather Dickie say I just might get hit
If I don t give

The girls all shisper hind my back
They try to break me whith cruel attacks
The boys they want only one thing
And so I give it, don t complain

Daddy s gone, Mama lost her job
Our house ain t a home no more
Still my faith s unshaken in God

I feel so lonely for hope and company
I don t take much and I give everything for free
(So, don t you want me?)

The girls all whisper hind by back
My baby brother s smoking crack
The boys they want only one thing
And so I give it, don t complain

Daddy s gone, Mama lost her job
Our house ain t a home no more
Still my faith s unshaken in god

I dream I get a record deal
I ll buy a way out of here
Or maybe a new Lexus jeep
Or just a friend (Am I dreamin ? Am I dreamin ?)
There s Mr. roberts,Juan and Paul
All waiting for me down the hall
But then tomorrow they don t call
Still a moment s better than none at all

Daddy s gone (My name is La Tonya)
Mama lost her job (I am a sophomore)
Our house ain t a home no more (I ll be sixteen in August)
Since Mama broke her soul (I like to sing in chorus)
Daddy s gone (My name is La Tonya)
Mama lost her job (I am a sophomore)
Our house ain t a home no more (I ll be sixteen in August)

Still my faith s unshaken
Lord won t you please save me?
Is this the new slavery?
Here on the ghetto pavement?
But I believe in you baby
Yes, my faith s unshaken
In God

In my rearview
I watch you watching the twilight
Behind the telephone lines
Nothing to prove, or to assume
Just thinking if your thoughts are different than mine
In my rearview
I watch you
I give you your life, would you give me mine?

I see you slowly swim away
Cause the light is leaving town
To a place that...

My girlfriend s moving in with a guy that i never met
he s 26 years old and she says that they re just friends
but i m sick of playing games with her every time i see her
i m thinking that this is just ridiculous...

In the centre of the storm
something magic being born
When the world is torn apart
by the beating of a heart
Like a dam about to burst
Like a drunkard s crazy thirst
In the centre of the storm
something magic being born

It s the dark hours of...

Em cada amanhecer
A todo tempo tudo o que acontecer
Em cada descobrir
Em cada abraço amigo e a cada sorrir
Você vai estar do meu lado
Mesmo sozinho estou acompanhado
Não importa o que há de vir
Sempre tenho você pra me...

This summer time I have no fury
No chance of sinking sailing ships
If time stood still I’d take aim and fire
For you

For every ocean there must be shore
On which I stand with restless toes
When everything I look for...
