Hush now, baby, close your eyes
Mama can't tuck you in tonight
She doesn't ever wanna be away
That's just what it takes to make it through the day
Save those tears, dry your eyes
It's just one more day in paradise
Tryin' to make ends meet, I'm so
Tired of being alive and never living
We're born and we're dyin' free
But in between
We're only tryin' to make ends meet
Hush now, baby, go to sleep
Daddy's workin' late at the factory
He really wanted to be there for you
But daddy's gotta do what a man's gotta do
Hold the tears, don't you cry
It's just another night in paradise (it's just another)
Tryin' to make ends meet, I'm so
Tired of being alive and never living
We're born and we're dyin' free
But in between
We're only tryin' to make ends meet
Hold those tears, don't you cry
It's just another night in paradise
Tryin' to make ends meet, I'm so
Tired of being alive and never living
We're born and we're dyin' free
But in between
Tryin' to make ends meet, I'm so
Tired of never living
We're born and we're dyin' free
But in between
Mama can't tuck you in
Daddy's workin' late again
They're just tryin' to make it
Tryin to make ends meet
