I don´t want to go away
Is there a way you can let me stay
Just a week, another day
The time to understand
Why you´re sending me away

Where I go to I don´t know
I just feel it´s gonna be cold
The place with that man
Old enough to be you
I don´t need another you

You always said you loved me so
But now momma turns her head down
The minute I´m around

I don´t want to go away
Little sister she can stay
You´re telling me to be strong
But whatever I did wrong
Can´t you see I´m still small too

Every night I pray ´n pray
I promise you wouldn´t notice if I stayed
Brother told me I got sold
To the man in gold by you
I said it wasn´t true

For I was always your little girl
But now momma turns her head down
The minute I´m around

I don´t want to go away
I don´t want to go away
I promise you wouldn´t notice if I stayed
Will there be mum and you
This place I´m going to
It won´t be warm
It ´ll be no home
Must be something I didn´t do
Can I still make it up to you
That man cold, old
