hey little mama
don't you take it so hard
they never had the time for you
you wandered in the yard
with magic all around you
and the golden dust of god
you're all grown up,
you've got a baby in your arms
you're all grown up,
you've got a baby in your arms
between the world of the humans
and your expanding heart
you've been holding your own hand
ever since the start
now you're trying to be for somebody
what nobody was for you
did you think that this would be
the hardest thing you'd ever do
did you think that this would be
the hardest thing you'd ever do
but oh, you love her
like you never thought you could
and oh, you love her
like the moon it loves the earth
well
well, oh well
he reminds you of your daddy
with all his tricks and charms
he reminds you of your daddy
every time he lets you down
you believe him when he tell you
he'll stop drinking for you
yeah you think that if you love him
maybe he will change for you
yeah you think that if you love him
maybe he will change for you
hey little mama
don't you take it so hard
the things you are remembering
will surface and depart
and you won't feel so crazy
hanging on a while
and you will give to her
the life that she deserves
and you will give to her
a life that she deserves
'cause oh, you love her
like you never thought you could
and oh, you love her
like the moon it loves the earth
