[Verse 1]
I called you a sweet boy
You're nothing but weak, boy
And you're nothing but meak, boy
I called you a love, boy
You're all the above, boy
You're just not enough, boy
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I blame your mother
And I blame your father
Since you have a brother
I'll blame his mother
[Chorus 1]
I wish I never laid my eyes on that pretty face of yours
You have a heart that only a mother could love
[Verse 2]
I wanted a tree, boy
But you gave me a leaf, boy
It's nothing to me, boy
I gave you the world, boy
Without a return, boy
And now I'm just hurt, boy
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I'll blame your mother
And I'll blame your father
Now I'm left to wonder
What dragged me under
[Chorus 2]
I wish I never laid my eyes on that pretty face of yours
You have a heart that only a mother could love
And I wish I never laid my eyes on you
You have a broken heart that I could never touch
[Bridge]
I planted a seed, boy
Now you watch it grow, boy
Long after I leave, boy
Long after I leave...
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I blame your mother
And I blame your father
Since you have a brother
I'll blame his mother
[Chorus 2]
I wish I never laid my eyes on that pretty face of yours
You have a heart that only a mother could love
And I wish I never laid my eyes on you
You have a broken heart that I could never touch
[Outro]
I gave you the world, boy
Without a return, boy
Now I'm just hurt, boy
