She says it's cos I love you
Momma please don't cry
But it don't make matters better
When you resemble you father and you learn
That the alimonies run dry
Momma please don't cry
You know you'd never ask me why
I'll wipe the tears that flow from your eyes
And hold you like you're used to hold me
So she smiles but is she happy
She smiles but she ain't happy
Sadness still glistens in her eyes
When she thinks of that man who
She gave most of her life to
In her heart she feels like she would die
So you try to console her, she sees her baby's growing older
One day you'll rise up and take your leave
Then she'll stand by the window, looking pale as a shadow
Words of love faintly echo in her ear
When your mother starts to scold you She says it's cos I love you Momma please don't cry But it don't make matters better When you resemble you father and you learn That the alimonies run dry Momma please don't cry You know you'd never ask me why I'll wipe the tears that flow from your eyes And hold you like you're used to hold me So she smiles but is she happy She smiles but she ain't happy Sadness still glistens in her eyes When she thinks of that man who She gave most of her life to In her heart she feels like she would die So you try to console her, she sees her baby's growing older One day you'll rise up and take your leave Then she'll stand by the window, looking pale as a shadow Words of love faintly echo in her ear Explain Request ×
