Mommy Can I Come Home Lyrics

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
