Call it Network, call it Tribe, call it family.
Whatever you call it, whoever you are.
You need one.


Here's a little story that I've gotta tell \\
About a guy who left his girl, and broke her heart aswell \\

If he cares is hard to tell \\
A great start, soon to become bad \\
A violent $$#hole, soon to become a dad \\


Vers #1:


She's six months pregnant, fighting everyday \\
Domestic violence, quiet, choose to stay \\
She won't leave, she wants her son to have a family \\

To stick to this guy is insanity, but family \\

She puts up with his dead beat way \\

"I'll get better" sure, that's what 'dead beats' say \\
Stay out late, just one face slob \\
He's going nowhere, to lazy to get a job \\


She loves the thought of a happy life \\
Face all bruised up, guess happy has a price \\

Different excuses, but it's all distort \\
$#&@ed up thought, living of his kid's child support \\


She loves him but, really she hates him \\
She's scared to face him, just give him some space and \\
Let him cool off, it's gonna be great \\

Happy forever and after, while he's punching her face \\

Hook (x2):


Guess we're all just a big happy family \\
Life on the line, guess she's gambling \\

She wants her son to have a dad \\
It's sad, how she loves the greatest thing she never had \\


Vers #2:

She's a good mom, with a loving heart \\

He was a good dad, barely at the start \\
This kid is getting older, knows what's going on \\
Can't hide the truth, or try to throw him off \\


She tries her best, single mom, juggeling jobs \\
He bails off, young and single, never showing up \\

She tries the babysteps, try to get him involved \\
Mad messages, sleeping in, never taking calls \\


She waits for him to come around \\
she's been crying too long 'n tears make her drown \\
She's been tough for too long \\

And this world is too cold to handle all alone \\

Never giving up, maybe she's weak minded \\

Somthing behind it, maybe tears behind kindness \\
Don't cry girl, don't defend him \\
I promise you the world, and your happy ending \\


Hook (x2):


Guess we're all just a big happy family \\
Life on the line, guess she's gambling \\
She wants her son to have a dad \\

It's sad, how she loves the greatest thing she never had \\

Outro:


She never had //
Loves the greatest things she never had //

We're all just a big happy family //
The big happy family //
The big happy family //

Sad how she loves the greatest things she never had //
Guess we're all just a big happy family //
