Key: CEnglish
Verse
Emily Gcomes home from school
Grabs on to her daddy's G6hand
He says Gbaby girl what's wrong with you
She says please don't make me go G6back there again
She said I Cwish there was some way to make 'em C2stop it
So he Cdrives down to that GprinDcipal's office and says
Chorus
I didn't Gbring her up
So they could G6cut her down
I didn't Cbring her here
So they could C2shut her out
I live my Gwhole damn life
To see that G6little girl smile
So why are Ctears pouring down that sweet C2face?
She wasn't brought up that Gway
Verse
GEmily's home late again
He sees that boy drive G6away
Oh but Gsomething's different this time
She doesn't have too G6much to say
She said he Ctried but there just some things I won't C2do
And through the Ctears she said I couldn't do that to Gyou
And he Dsaid
Chorus
I Gdidn't bring you up
So he could G6wear you down
Take that Cinnocent heart
And turn it C2inside out
I live my Gwhole damn life
To see my G6little girl smile
So don't Clet nobody take that Gaway
You weren't brought up that G6way

Chorus
I didn't Gbring her up
To watch them G6lay her down
Nearly Ckilled me the day they put her C2mama in the ground

It won't be Ceasy taking her Gtoday
She wasn't brought up that G6way
