Sweet Melissa, I often pray for you   I hope your suffering was brief   I hope the angels that watch over all little children   Came for you and took you someplace beautiful and sweet   Aahh..         Suffer The Little Children         Dear Melissa, I often think of you   Everytime I hold my baby in my arms   I say a prayer for your mama and daddy too   I know they miss you, miss you since you're gone         Suffer The Little Children   At the hands of evil men   No baby dolls, no teddy bears   No lullabies for them   Every mother's nightmare   Will it ever end   Suffer The Little Children   At the hands of evil men         You who done the deed better do some prayin' too   Better hope that God's forgivin' like they say   Cause somewhere, somebody keeps a list   Of the evils that men do   An' your name's right up there   I heard `em say   Aahh..         Suffer The Little Children   At the hands of evil men   No baby dolls, no teddy bears   No lullabies for them   Every mother's nightmare   Will it ever end   Suffer The Little Children   At the hands of evil men
