Ode to my family - the cranberries

Understand the things I say

Don't turn away from me

Cause I spent half my life out there

You wouldn't disagree

D'you see me, d'you see

Do you like me.

Do you like me standing there

D'you notice, d'you know

Do you see me, do you see me

Does anyone care

Unhappiness, where's when I was young

And we didn't give a damn

'Cause we were raised

To see life as fun and take it if we can

My mother, my mother she hold me

Did she hold me, when I was out there

My father, my father, he liked me

Oh he liked me, does anyone care

Understand what I've become

It wasn't my design

And people everywhere think

Something better than I am

But I miss you.

I miss'Cause you liked it.

I liked itWhen I was out there

D'you know this, d'you know

You did not find me, you did not find

Does anyone care

Unhappiness was when I was young

And we didn't give a damn

'Cause we were raised

To see life as fun and take it if we can

My mother, my mother she hold me

Did she hold me, when I was out there

My father, my father, he liked me

Oh me liked me, does anyone care

Does anyone care
