Mamas  put your babies  to sleep,
story  too cruelsome for them  this is.
In  Junior High she  said goodbye,
to  her parents and ran 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 find,
 it´s  Monday and she´s gotta  grind.
A  job as a waitress she sure  was to find,
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  was so scared  that you would  go away.
"Despite  all the papers been signed,
mama  take me back be so kind".
Only  a child,  reckless and wild,
 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  oh  Mary-Lou.
Mamas  do your children  still sleep,
in  the safe of their cradles  so sweet.
Story  I told you I have  foreseen,
your  little angel ain´t  always  so clean.
Days  to come  aren´t  easy  to see,
you  can change  ´em  but it isn´t  free.
I  see that you don´t  believe,
ooo-oo,  but you  will  see.
Only  a child,  reckless and wild,
 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  oh  Mary-Lou.
Only  a child,  reckless and wild,
 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  oh  Mary-Lou.
Only  a child,  reckless and wild,
 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  oh  Mary-Lou.
