Lyrics Hey Mama - Charlene

Growing into me
Ain't the best thing I could be
I was taken to the school of life
And taught conformity
And I really miss that kid
And the crazy things she did
But I guess
She wouldn't think too much of me
Hey Mama
Hey Mama
Can I go out into the world and play?
Hey Mama
Hey Mama
Please come back and take the world away
It really hurt inside
When they told me God has died
But I can't afford the luxury
Of honesty and pride
When they come to cut the chord
Do they have to use a sword?
How I wish I could find yesterday?
Hey Mama
Hey Mama
Can I go out into the world and play?
Hey Mama
Hey Mama
Please come back and take the world away
Repeat the last verse and fade.
