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
