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 loved me
Then he showed me how to love him
Before he beat me
He turned me out at night
The cars slowed down, they paid the price
Well, it wasn't 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
I passed a woman on the street
Who looked like you
I remember things
Everything you said
Mommy can I come home?
I've run as far as I can go
Would it be alright 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
