Mamas put babies to sleep, story too cruelsome for them this is. In Junior high she said goodbye to her parents and 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 it's monday and she's gotta grind.
A Job as a waitress she sure was to 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 so scared that you would go \"Despite all the papers been signed, mama take me back be so kind\".
Only a child, reckless and 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 Mary-Lou.
Mamas do your children still sleep, in the safe of their cradles sweet. Story I told you I have forseen, Your little angel ain'talways so clean. Days to come aren't easy to You can change 'em butit isn't free. I see that you don't believe, ooo-oo, but you will see.
