| | When I was born my mother died | | She said bye-bye baby, bye-bye | | | I said, "Where you goin'? | I'm just born" | | She said I'll only be gone for a while | | My mother loved to leave in style | | | | | That's why God made the movies | | Well I laid around in my swaddling clothes | | Until the doctor came and turned out the light | | Then I packed my bag | | And my nametag | | And stole away into the night | | Hoping things would work out right | | | That's why God made the movies | | Say you will, say you will | | Say you'll take me to your loving breast | | Say you'll nourish me with your tenderness | | The way the ladies sometimes do | | Say you won't, say you won't | | Say you won't leave me for no other man | Say you'll love me just the way I am Tacet | Say you will, baby now | | Say you will, just say you will | | Say you will | | When I was born my mother died | | She said bye-bye baby, bye-bye | | And since that day | | I've paid my way | | The notorious boy of the wild | | Adopted by the wolves when he was a child | | That's why God. That's why God. | | That's why God made the movies Repeat and fade: | |
