Mommy Can I Come Home

Mommy Can I Come Home - Keb' Mo'

Mommy can I come home

Mommy can I come home

Don't hang up before I have the chance to say I'm sorry

Are you listening

There's no excuse for what I said to you

You probably don't miss me

Mommy can I come home

I'm tired hungry and alone

He told me he'd loved me

Then he showed me how to love him before he beat me

Turned me out at night the car slowing down

He paid the price well it was easy

Mommy the streets are cold

I'm too young to feel so old

Ballerina wallpaper across my room

Teddy bears and pillows on my bed

Passed a woman on the street who looked like you

I remember then everything you said

Mommy can I come home

I've run as far as I can go

Would it be all right if I stopped by

For a minute just to see you

How about tonight when daddy's home

I really need to see you

Mommy can I come home

Mommy can I come home

Mommy can I

Mommy don't cry
