Mrs. Callahan, is Paul Michael home   I can see the light on in his room   Mrs. Callahan, is he all alone   You say he needs to change his attitude      Can he come out to play   He didn't make school today   And I wonder why he never wants   To do the things you say      Did he blame you today   Said you made him that way   If you could only see he's just like you      Mrs. Callahan, does it hurt to know   You might have got it all wrong   Mrs. Callahan (Mrs. Callahan your son)   Don't you let him go   He'll be gone before too long (If you would only listen)   (I know that he would listen too)      Can he come out to play   He didn't make school today (I know that he would listen too)   And I wonder why he never wants   To do the things you say      Did he blame you today    Said you made him that way    If you could only see he's just like you      How'd ya let him get so out of hand   He was just a kid, Mrs. Callahan   You can try and say you did the best you can   Who you gonna blame, Mrs. Callahan      How'd you let him get so out of hand   He was just a kid and I know that he would listen too   Can he come out to play   He didn't make school today    (I know that he would listen too)   And I wonder why he never wants   To do the things you say      Did he blame you today    Said you made him that way    If you could only see he's just like you
