Mommy can I come home?   Mommy can I come home?      Don't hang up before I have the chance to say I'm sorry   Are you listening?   There's no excuse for what I said to you   You probably don't miss me      Mommy can I come home?   I'm tired, hungry and alone      He told me he'd loved me   Then he showed me how to love him before he beat me   Turned me out at night, the car slowing down   He paid the price, well, it was easy      Mommy the streets are cold   I'm too young to feel so old      Ballerina wallpaper across my room   Teddy bears and pillows on my bed   Passed a woman on the street who looked like you   I remember then everything you said      Mommy can I come home?   I've run as far as I can go      Would it be all right if I stopped by   For a minute just to see you?   How about tonight when daddy's home?   I really need to see you      Mommy can I come home?   Mommy can I come home?      Mommy can I?   Mommy don't cry
