I've been around your family 
For 17 odd years 
Your brothers and your sisters 
Made you wise beyond your years 
Love and cucarachas 
Is all that there's a lot of 
If you ain't playin' momma  
Then the kids ain't bein' thought of 
 
Chorus 
 
Well the world upon your shoulders 
And your baby on the way 
Realize the stage your on  
And the part you've got to play 
Your life is not a tragedy 
You bring joy to everyday 
Love will come returnin' 
For all the love you gave away 
 
Chorus
