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
