They Don'T See What They'Re Doin'
Mommy and Daddy sitting in their bedroom
Screaming, yelling, arguing
Who knows what they’re even fighting about,
And who really cares?
It seems to happen all the time
And it just hurts for her to see
Mom is trying to tell him how she feels,
But daddy can’t get past the yelling
(Chorus)
Mommy says, “You need to help parent.”
And daddy says, “You’ve got to loosen up.”
Daddy’s to loose and Mommy’s to strict,
They never agree—they always fight
They don’t see what they’re doin’
They don’t see what they’re doin’
They don’t see what they’re doin’
They don’t see what they’re doin’ to their daughter
They’re completely tearing her up inside
Now they’ve got her questioning love
Wondering if there’s such a thing
She has a boyfriend but she doesn’t really love him
She just needs to feel loved
She seems to feel so alone
Even though she has tons of friends
She doesn’t feel like she’s number one
To anyone
(Chorus)
Mommy says, “You need to help parent.”
And daddy says, “You’ve got to loosen up.”
Daddy’s to loose and Mommy’s to strict,
They never agree—they always fight
They don’t see what they’re doin’
They don’t see what they’re doin’
They don’t see what they’re doin’
They don’t see what they’re doin’ to their daughter
They’re completely tearing her up inside
She begins to think about suicide
She doesn’t know what else to do
So she sits there clutching the knife
Wondering what she’s gonna do
Then she shouts out “No, I’m not gonna do this!”
I have friends and family
I may not be anybody’s number one,
But I know they’ll miss me if I’m gone.
(Chorus)
Mommy says, “You need to help parent.”
And daddy says, “You’ve got to loosen up.”
Daddy’s to loose and Mommy’s to strict,
They never agree—they always fight
They don’t see what they’re doin’
They don’t see what they’re doin’
They don’t see what they’re doin’
They don’t see what they’re doin’ to their daughter
They don’t see what they’re doin’
They don’t see what they’re doin’
They don’t see what they’re doin’
They don’t see what they’re doin’ to their daughter
They’re completely tearing her up inside
