La Tonya (Album Version) - Paula Cole
Been told you never get something for nothing
My stepfather Dickie say I just might get hit
If I don't give
The girls all wisper behind my back
They try to break me with cruel attacks
The boys they want only one thing
And so I give it  don't complain
Daddy's gone
Mama lost her job Our house ain't a home no more
Still my faith's unshaken in God
I feel so lonely for hope and company
I don't take much and I give everything for free
(So  don't you want me )
The girls all whisper behind my back
My baby brother's smoking crack The boys
They want only one thing
My body is my complainsee
Daddy's gone  Mama lost her job
Our house ain't a home no more
Still my faith's unshaken in god
I dream I get a record deal
I'll buy a way out of here
Or maybe a new Lexus jeep
Or just a friend
(Am I dreamin'  Am I dreamin' )
There's Mr  Roberts
Juan and Paul All waiting for me down the hall
But then tomorrow
They don't call Still a moment's better
Than none at all Daddy's gone
(My name is La Tonya)
Mama lost her job
(I am a sophomore)
Our house ain't a home no more
(I'll be sixteen in August)
Since Mama broke her soul
(I like to sing in chorus)
Daddy's gone (My name is La Tonya)
Mama lost her job (I am a sophomore)
Our house ain't a home no more
(I'll be sixteen in August)
Still my faith's unshaken Lord
Won't you please save me
Is this the new slavery
Here on the ghetto pavement
But I believe in you baby
Yes my answer is no
Yes  my faith's unshaken In God
