Mama when my dollies have babies
And I am a big lady
Mama will a prince come
And take me away
When I said these things
I believed in kings
Then I didn't know love
Could hurt me so
Slowly she replied,
Tears had filled her eyes
Baby not so fast
Let your young life last
Chorus
I sang to her in fun
My teens had just began
My age was not the same
Still we played the game
Her eyes were filled with pride
And slowly she replied
Soon enough
You'll be a very pretty bride
Chorus
Mama, will the hurt go away deep inside
When I sang this song
My poor world had gone along
All my early dreams
Has turned to crystal streams
My love it was last
And more tears have past
And left me just one thing
A tender voice I sing
Chorus
