ODE TO MY FAMILY  (The Cranberries)

    Understand the things I say, don’t turn away from me
    ‘Cause I’ve spent half my life out there
    You wouldn’t disagree...
    Do you see me?  Do you see? Do you like me?
    Do you like me standing there? Do you notice?
    Do you know?...Do you see me? Does anyone care?
    Unhappiness was when I was young, we didn’t give a damn
    ‘Cause we were raised to see life as fine, take it if we can...
    My mother, she hold me, she hold me...When I was out there
    My father, my father...he liked me, and he liked me... Does anyone care?
    Understand what I’ve become, it wasn’t my design
    And people everywhere, they sob, think better than I am
    But I miss you, I miss, ‘cause I liked it, ‘cause I liked it... When I was out there
    Do you notice?  Do you know you did bad by me, you did bad by me
    Does anyone care ?
    Unhappiness was when I was young, we didn’t give a damn
    ‘Cause we were raised to see life as fine, take it if we can...
    My mother, she hold me, she hold me...When I was out there
    My father, my father...he liked me, and he liked me... Does anyone care?
    Does anyone care ? (7X)
