lyrics

My mother, she told me why
Told me why the world wouldn't wanna treat me right
I wondered, I wondered why
What I had done to deserve this life

My father, for he cried
His little girl was gonna have one hell of a fight
He couldn't hold her hand
It was a lesson to learn on her own; to take a stand

Oh, cruel world
Oh, my girl
Treat her right
Oh, cruel world

My sister, we said goodbye
I knew it wasn't you all this time
My brother, you'll be alright
For the first time I've seen you smile

My lover, I'll hold you tight
And never let go while I'm alive
We'll keep each other safe
And try to make the world a better place

Oh, cruel world
Oh, my girl
Treat her right
Oh, cruel world
