Oh, dear sweet mama I'm not feeling well Can I step out For a little while? ♪ But I go missing I steal away And I go kissing In the alleyways 'Cause all I want to do And all I want to grow up to be Is all caught up with you Look what you're doing to me ♪ Oh, dearest young man Teach me sweetheart How to love you I'm a clever girl You've got me lying You've got me leaving home You've got me crying When I'm alone And all I want to do And all I want to grow up to be Is all caught up with you Look what you're doing to me When I'm not with you, my dreams are so very dark When I'm not with you, I dream of my hair just falling out When I'm not with you, I walk dark tunnels of my heart When I'm not with you, everything just comes apart ♪ When I was younger I spent my days Wondering to whom I was supposed to pray It's you
