I'm gonna hide if she don't leave me alone
|
I'm gonna run away
|
Don't!!
|
|
'cause you can never go home anymore
|
|
[Spoken:]
|
Listen. Does this sound familiar? You wake up every morning, go to
|
school every day, spend your nights on the corner just passing the time away.
|
Your life is so lonely like a child without a toy. Then a miracle-a boy. And that's
|
called "glad." Now my mom is a good mom and she loves me with all her heart.
|
But she said I was too young to be in love and the boy and I would have to part.
|
And no matter how I ranted and raved, I screamed, I pleaded, I cried-she told me it
|
was not really love but only my girlish pride. And that's called "bad."
|
|
(Never go home anymore)
|
|
[Spoken:]
|
Now if that's happened to you, don't let this. I packed my clothes and
|
left home that night. Though she begged me to stay, I was sure I was right. And
|
you know something funny?? I forgot that boy right away. Instead I remember
|
being tucked in bed and hearing my mama say
|
|
(Hush, little baby, don't you cry)
|
(Mama won't go away)
|
Mama!!!
|
|
(You can never go home anymore)
|
Mama!!!
|
I can never go home anymore
|
|
[Spoken:]
|
Do you ever get that feeling and wanna kiss and hug her? Do it now-
|
tell her you love her. Don't do to your mom what I did to mine. She grew so lonely
|
in the end. Angels picked her for a friend.
|
|
(Never)
|
And I can never go home (never) anymore
|
And that's called "sad."
