Mary-Lou (Acoustic Version)

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 forseen 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.
