i don't know why
she tells me things
she doesn't mean
i don't know why
she looks at me
a funny way sometimes
i don't know why
she tells me things
that make me cry
i don't know why
she gives the bad look
if i've been good
i don't know why
she won't hold my hand
like i know she can
i don't know why
she yells at me
when i was right
i don't know why
she won't read books
like i know she could
i don't know why
she makes me alone
for things i haven't done
i don't know why
she takes my things
if i say they're mine
i don't know why
she gets mad
when i wasn't bad
i don't know why
she won't help out
after i fall down
i don't know why
she's always angry
when she's around me
i don't know why
she won't tuck me in
when i wake up at night
and i don't know why
she won't say it too
when i say to her
i love you
