(Didn't your Mama tell you how to behave,girl? 
Didn't your Daddy tell you not to wear that little thing?) 
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 shisper 'hind my back 
They try to break me whith 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'hind by back 
My baby brother's smoking crack 
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 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 faith's unshaken 
In God
