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.
