Mom, please tell me what to do
I'm so disappointed in you
You said those words that make me cry
And you always wondered why
Why I sing my lullaby...

Mom, please hurry home to me
I waited up so patiently
You said don't and you start to cry
Well you never asked 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
