mom please tell me what to do
im 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 lead you in the wrong direction?
was it my fault they didnt 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 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
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
