You don't know what it was like
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
So you don't know what it's like
To be a man in the world
And be scared to lose everything
So you don't know what it's like
To build a life from nothing
And be scared to lose everything
I bet that's not what you said back then
And don't sing your blues to me
You have no right
By the time I was old enough to run
Mama couldn't move and dad was gone
See, she set me in a room alone to watch TV
So you don't know what it's like
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
By the time I went to school I had no friends
I didn't even know how to play with kids
They would all run around
And I would just sit alone
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
And do you know what it's like
To cry yourself to sleep at night
At the age of six
And seven
And eight
And nine
And ten
And eleven
And eleven

And twelve
