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
|
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)
|
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
|
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"
|
|
