Another Saturday night, there's a knock on the door.
He sees a new face he's not seen before.
He kisses his Mama, says: "I hope you have fun."
He crosses his fingers 'n' hopes this is the one. Who will love her and bring back her smile,
And won't run away, 'cause she has a child?
The weight of the world rests on his shoulders,
'Cause Mama needs someone to hold her. They both keep tryin' to change how it is.
She thinks it's her fault, and he thinks it's his.
He knows the answer though, he's just a kid.
She needs someone who'll give her what his Daddy did. Who will love her and bring back her smile,
And won't run away, 'cause she has a child?
The weight of the world rests on his shoulders,
'Cause Mama needs someone to hold her.
