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. |
