Mom please tell me what to do   I'm so disappointed in you   You said those words that made me cry   And you always wondered why   Why I sing my lullaby      Mom please hurry home to me   I waited up so patiently   You sit down and you start to cry   But you never ask me why   Why I sing my lullaby, why I sing my lullaby      Was it my fault they lead you in the wrong direction?   Was it my fault they didn't show you any affection?   I show you when I start to cry   Still you always wonder why   Why I sing my lullaby      Mom why love me if you're cold   You just get bitter then grow old   Ask me when I start to weep   Then I'll tell you in my sleep   Why I sing my lullaby, why I sing my lullaby      Why I sing my lullaby, why I sing my lullaby   Why I sing my lullaby, why I sing my lullaby   Why I sing my lullaby, why I sing my lullaby   Why I sing my lullaby, why I sing my lullaby   Why I sing my lullaby, why I sing my lullaby
