Mama, when my dollies have babies   And I am a big lady   Mama, will a prince come and take me away?      When I said these things, I believed in kings   Then I didn't know love could hurt me so   Slowly she replied, tears had filled her eyes   Baby, not so fast, let your young life last      Mama, when my dollies have babies   And I am a big lady   Mama, will a prince come and take me away?      I sang to her in fun, my teens had just began   My age was not the same, still we played this game   Her eyes were filled with pride, slowly she replied   Soon enough you'll be a very pretty bride      Mama, when my dollies have babies   And I am a big lady   Mama, will the hurt go away deep inside      When I sang this song, my poor world had gone along   All my early dreams has turned to crystal streams   My love, it last and more tears have past   And left me just one thing, a tender voice that sing      Mama, when my dollies have babies   And I am a big lady   Mama
