Mom, please tell me what to do,  I'm so disappointed in you.    You said those words that made me cry  and I always wondered why, why I sing my lullaby.    Mom, please hurry home to me,  I've 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 led you in the wrong direction?  Was it my fault they didn't show you any affection?    I show you and 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 tell you in my sleep that I sing my lullaby,     why I sing my lullaby (4x)
