Mary-Lou
Mamas, put your babies to sleepStory too cruelsome for them this isIn Junior high she said goodbyeTo her parents and ran away with a boy
She left her family warm and kindAll of her friends said, "You're out of your mind"Life of her own she would findIt's Monday and she's gotta grind
A job as a waitress she sure was to findBeautiful face, mind of a childBoy 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 todayI was so scared that you would go awayDespite all the papers been signedMama take me back be so kind"
Only a child, reckless and wildNeeds to come home againHe promised the moonBut won't marry you
Nothing to do, eating for twoHe's goin' out with someone newSunshine or rain, it's all the sameLife isn't gray, oh, Mary-Lou
Mamas do your children still sleepIn the safe of their cradles so sweetStory I told you I have foreseenYour little angel ain't always so clean
Days to come aren't easy to seeYou can change 'em but it isn't freeI see that you don't believeOoh, but you will see
Only a child, reckless and wildNeeds to come home againHe promised the moonBut won't marry you
Nothing to do, eating for twoHe's goin' out with someone newSunshine or rain, it's all the sameLife isn't gray, oh, Mary-Lou
Only a child, reckless and wildNeeds to come home againHe promised the moonBut won't marry you
Nothing to do, eating for twoHe's goin' out with someone newSunshine or rain, it's all the sameLife isn't gray, oh, Mary-Lou
Only a child, reckless and wildNeeds to come home again.He promised the moonBut won't marry you
Nothing to do, eating for twoHe's goin' out with someone newSunshine or rain, it's all the sameLife isn't gray, oh, Mary-Lou
