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 and 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
