[Verse 1]
Pickin' on me, yeah
Why do they beat me down like this, yeah
And making fun of me, yeah
What did I do to get them so pissed

[Chorus]
Oh, read me a bedtime story
'Cause you know that I can't count sheep, yeah
I cry too, just like you know you used to
Ohh I'm sad
So who do you think you're pushing around
Well it's not me, you'll see
Ohh I'm sad

[Verse 2]
Callin' me names, yeah
Everything from the book now, yeah
Bruises on my face, yeah
Ugly, shiny, red, black, and blue

[Chorus]
Oh, read me a bedtime story
'Cause you know that I can't count sheep, yeah
I cry too, just like you know you used to
Ohh I'm sad
So who do you think you're pushing around
Well it's not me, you'll see
Ohh I'm sad
[Guitar solo]

[Bridge]
I never thought that it would happen to you
I never said you'd get what's coming to you
But all your confrontations wanna take you to the grave now
It makes me wonder if you're feeling so brave now
You meet a lot of people and you talk a lot of shit
You're playin' with your life and never know you're losin' it
But I guess with everybody it goes round and round
Ashes to ashes and we all fall down
Maybe the next one in line, maybe he'll think a little better
You could've had good or badder but instead you chose the latter
So you turn around a second feel the steel upon your face
And click, BANG! what was you thinkin' in the first place?
You thinkin' in the first place
You thinkin' in the first place
You thinkin' in the first place
You thinkin' in the first place

[Chorus]
Oh, read me a bedtime story
'Cause you know that I can't count sheep, yeah
I cry too, just like you know you used to
Ohh I'm sad
So who do you think you're pushing around
Well it's not me, you'll see
Ohh I'm sad
[Outro]
I cry, I cry, I cry, I cry
And I cry, I cry, I cry, I cry
