Oh, dear sweet mama,
I'm not feeling well,
Can I step out
For a little while?

But I go missing,
I steal away,
And I go kissing
In the alleyways.

'Cause all I want to do,
And all I want to grow up to be
Is all caught up with you,
Look what you're doing to me.

Oh, dearest young man,
Teach me, sweetheart,
How to love you,
I'm a clever girl.

You've got me lying,
You've got me leaving home,
You've got me crying,
When I'm alone.

All I want to do,
And all I want to grow up to be
Is all caught up with you,
Look what you're doing to me.

When I'm not with you my dreams are so very dark,
When I'm not with you I dream of my hair just falling out,
When I'm not with you I walk dark tunnels of my heart,
When I'm not with you everything [bad word] apart.

When I was younger,
I spent my days,
Wondering to whom
I was supposed to pray.

It's you,
It's you,
It's you,
It's you.
