She had 13 kids, each one had 13 problems
   Three uppers, ten downers, just to put up with this
   And she don't know which children belong to which father
   But she loves them all anyway and they each get a kiss
  
   And the toilet ain't flushing and the toaster is smoking
   The vacuum don't suck but it needs a new belt
   But she saw the world through the eyes of a child
   And remembers how good it was and how good it felt
  
   He picked up the paper from the bitter cold morning
   He had just gone to sleep, he had to get up for work
   By morning he's a watchman and by night he's a waiter
   In the late afternoon he works as a clerk
  
   And he can't pay the doctor bills, he just can't afford the pills
   The car's repossesed and the child support's due
   But he saw the world through the eyes of a child
   Big problems seem smaller and old things seem new
  
   She was just six when she turned her first trick
   Now she's thirteen and it don't make her sick
   And she does lots of crystal and she owns her own pistol
   Got a goldfish named Silver and a pimp who's named Rick
  
   And some are like customers and some are like patients
   She'd have gone back to school if she'd just had the patience
   But she saw the world through the eyes of a child
   None of the nightmares, and nothing to deny
  
   She saw the world through the eyes of a child
   Yes she's seen it all and she knows they're all lies
