Lyrics
It was 3 a.m. the house was dark
She left the engine running with the car in park
Her little girl was cryin- she'd dropped her favorite doll
What was her mom to do but run back and risk it all
At the top of the stairs she met the stone cold gaze
of her angry husband in a whiskey haze
If you think you're goin to leave, he said you're askin for a fight
Nobody's walking out on me tonight
Chorus:
I don't know if I can change
If I could would it matter anymore
There's just two things that I know for sure
Nobody's gonna take my kid
And nobody's gona love you the way I did
She said I was a fool- a starry-eyed bride
I thought I would love you till the day I died
But if I stay I know somebody's goin to get hurt
You say you love me but love's just a word
Chorus:
I don't know if you can change
of if you could would it matter anymore
The only two things that I know for sure
Nobod'y gonna hurt my kid
And nobody's gonna treat me the way you did
As she turned to go he grabbed her by the wrist
She was staring straight into his raised up fist
When out of the shadows a voice said "Let her Leave-
Lay a hand on my daughter, you'll answer to me"
Chorus:
I don't care if you can change
If you could it wouldn't matter anymore
There's only two things that I know for sure
Nobody's gonna hurt my kid
and nobody's gonna treat her the way you did
Repeat Chorus.
