| Mamas put your babies to sleep, story too cruelsome for
|
| them this is. |
| In Junior high she said goodbye to her parents and ran
|
| away with a boy. |
| She left her family warm and kind, all of her friends said
|
| «you're out of your mind». |
| Life of her own she would find,
|
| it’s monday and she’s gotta grind.
|
| A Job as a waitress she sure was to find, beautiful face,
|
| mind of a child. |
| Boy got her pregnant, Mary-Lou cried,"For this I am
|
| too young oh why did you lie"You said «it's okay if we do it today», I was
|
| so scared that you would go away. |
| «Despite all the papers been signed,
|
| mama take me back be so kind».
|
| Only a child, reckless and wild, needs to come
|
| home again. |
| He promised the moon but won’t marry you.
|
| Nothing to do, eating for two, he’s goin' out with
|
| someone new. |
| Sunshine or rain, it’s all the same, life isn’t gray oh Mary-Lou.
|
| Mamas do your children still sleep, in the safe of their
|
| cradles so sweet. |
| Story I told you I have forseen, Your little angel ain’t
|
| always so clean. |
| Days to come aren’t easy to see, You can change 'em but
|
| it isn’t free. |
| I see that you don’t believe, ooo-oo, but you will see. |
