You said it's okay if we do it today I was so scared that you would go away Despite all the papers being 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 going 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?
