part of me
she's so young, she's so sweet
she go out to play she has to ask to cross the street
and at night she makes a fuss
she's afraid to go to sleep oh but her mother says she must
oh momma momma momma if you only knew

part of me, know's what's going on
part of me's still denying
part of me understood all along
part of me's still trying
part of me is dying
part of me is dying

she get's up, she gets dressed
her mother scolds her because her hair is such a mess
she bites her lip, she turns away
then it's hurry off to school girl don't be tardy don't be late
oh momma, momma, momma i swear i'm no the one to blame

part of me, know's what's going on
part of me's still denying
part of me understood all along
part of me's still trying
part of me is dying
part of me is dying

do you still feel anythin anywhere
do you just not see it or don't you care
and now it's burned into my brain
part of me will never be the same

(break)

i hate that man that took my father away from me

part of me, know's what's going on
part of me's still denying
part of me understood all along
part of me's still trying
part of me is dying
part of me is dying
