Sorry Charlie, sorry      Hair full of cowlicks out of control   His mother used vitalis super super hold   It's true kids can be so cruel   Loogies on his coat and Charlie never knew      He was a full-time mama's boy in second hand clothes   I heard a little school girl punched him in the nose   Well Mary just ran away   And Charlie walked home alone another day      I just can't believe it   These wounds are never healing   Took him to a dark place   I seen the look on his mother's face      Sorry Charlie, for all your pain and your misery   But your mother loved you   More than any other mother could do   Sorry Charlie, sorry      One cold day on the street where I lived   Yard work and I was muddy like a pig   Heard the laughter and turned for the scorn   Charlie with a girl, he up and threw a coin      Well I had compassion and I had enough   So I taught that kid a lesson 'cause he wasn't very tough   In a trash can he let out a cry   His mother took his side with fire in her eyes      I just can't believe it   These wounds are never healing   Took him to a dark place   I seen the look on his mother's face      Sorry Charlie, for all your pain and your misery   But your mother loved you   More than any other mother could do, yeah   Sorry Charlie, sorry      Sorry Charlie, for all your pain and your misery   But your mother loved you   More than any other mother could do   More than any other mother could do   More than any other mother could do, yeah   Sorry Charlie, sorry
