[Verse 1]
Dm F Bb
Mamas put your babies to sleep,
C Bb C
story too cruelsome for them this is.
Dm F Bb
In Junior High she said goodbye,
C Bb C
to her parents and ran away with a boy.
Gm F C Dm
She left her family warm and kind,
Gm F C Dm
all of her friends said "You´re out of your mind".
C Dm
Life of her own she would find,
Gm Bb A
it´s Monday and she´s gotta grind.
[Verse 2]
Dm F Bb
A job as a waitress she sure was to find,
C Bb C
beautiful face, mind of a child.
Dm F Bb
Boy got her pregnant, Mary-Lou cried,
C Bb C
"For this I am too young oh why did you lie?"
Gm F C Dm
You said "It´s okay if we do it today",
Gm F C Dm
I was so scared that you would go away.
C Dm
"Despite all the papers been signed,
Gm F A
mama take me back be so kind".
[Chorus]
Dm C F
Only a child, reckless and wild,
Bb C Dm
needs to come home again.
C Bb F C Dm
He promised the moon but won´t marry you.
C F
Nothing to do, eating for two,
Bb C Dm
he´s goin´ out with someone new.
C Gm
Sunshine or rain, it´s all the same,
F C Dm
life isn´t gray oh Mary-Lou.
[Verse 3]
Dm F Bb
Mamas do your children still sleep,
C Bb C
in the safe of their cradles so sweet.
Dm F Bb
Story I told you I have foreseen,
C Bb C
your little angel ain´t always so clean.
Gm F C Dm
Days to come aren´t easy to see,
Gm F C Dm
you can change ´em but it isn´t free.
C Dm
I see that you don´t believe,
Gm F C Dm
ooo-oo, but you will see.
[CHORUS] x 1
[Solo]
[Chorus] x 2
