Mom please tell me what to do
I'm so disappointed in you
You said those words that made me cry
and you always wondered why
why I sing my lullaby
Mom please hurry home to me
I waited up so patiently
You sit down and you start to cry
but you never ask me why
why I sing my lullaby
Why I sing my lullaby
Was it my fault
they led you in the wrong direction
Was it my fault
they didn't show you any affection
I show you when I start to cry
still you always wonder why
why I sing my lullaby
Mom why love me if you're cold
You'll just get bitter then grow old
Ask me when I start to weep
then I'll tell you in my sleep
why I sing my lullaby
Why I sing my lullaby
Why I sing my lullaby
Why I sing my lullaby
Why I sing my lullaby
Why I sing my lullaby
