Mary lou
[00:19.46] Mamas put your
[00:20.70] babies to sleep,
[00:21.92] story too cruelsome
[00:22.93] for them this is.
[00:24.43] In Junior high
[00:25.68] she said goodbye
[00:26.94] to her parents
[00:27.68] and ran away with a boy.
[00:29.34] She left her family
[00:30.59] warm and kind,
[00:32.10] all of her
[00:32.73] friends said
[00:33.36] "you´re out
[00:33.67] of your mind".
[00:34.70] Life of her own
[00:35.76] she would find,
[00:37.26] it´s Monday and
[00:37.64] she´s gotta grind.
[00:39.89] A Job as a waitress
[00:41.16] she sure was to find,
[00:42.39] beautiful face,
[00:43.63] mind of a child.
[00:44.88] Boy got her pregnant,
[00:46.15] Mary-Lou cried,
[00:47.64] "For this I am
[00:48.24] too young
[00:48.62] Oh why did you lie"
[00:50.12] You said "it´s okay
[00:51.12] if we do it today",
[00:52.36] I was so scared
[00:53.61] that you would go away.
[00:55.11] "Despite all the papers
[00:56.14] been signed,
[00:57.61] Mama take me back
[00:58.38] be so kind".
[01:00.65] Only a child,
[01:01.86] reckless and wild,
[01:03.36] needs to come
[01:04.11] home again.
[01:05.62] He promised the moon
[01:07.14] but won´t marry you.
[01:10.11] Nothing to do,
[01:11.86] eating for two,
[01:13.36] he´s goin´ out
[01:14.39] with someone new.
[01:15.86] Sunshine or rain,
[01:16.89] it´s all the same,
[01:18.38] life isn´t gray
[01:19.36] Oh Mary-Lou.
[01:20.92] ...
[01:30.44] Mamas do your children
[01:32.18] still sleep,
[01:33.19] In the safe of their
[01:34.16] cradles so sweet.
[01:35.43] Story I told you
[01:36.67] I have forseen,
[01:37.94] Your little angel
[01:39.17] ain´t always so clean.
[01:40.67] Days to come aren´t
[01:41.92] easy to see,
[01:43.18] You can change ´em
[01:44.42] but it isn´t free.
[01:45.66] I see that you don´t
[01:46.76] believe, ooo-oo,
[01:49.50] but you will see.
[01:50.62] ...
[01:51.12] Only a child,
[01:52.65] reckless and wild,
[01:53.86] needs to come
[01:54.75] home again.
