Melanie Bender - Hey Mother lyrics

Melanie Bender Melanie Bender Hey Mother HEY MOTHER Words and Music by Steve Bender Young girl is walking up and down the street Her body's moving on two stumbling feet There is fog in her eyes She can hardly walk straight A man comes walking close to her A hand reaches out something's moving somewhere And she follows him And they both drive away I can almost read her thoughts saying Should I leave or should I stay Hey mother, don't you miss your little baby tonight? Hey father, are you sure that you treated her right? If your love is so strong Why does she feel so alone? Young girl's body lying on the ground Cold and lifeless she was found Dear lord above Give her all your love Hate, crime, d** and dope Loveless childhood life without hope Its dog eat dog Sad but true You better beware before the dogs are out to eat on you Hey mother, don't you miss your little baby tonight? Hey father, are you sure that you treated her right? If your love is so strong Why does she feel so alone? Hey mother, don't you hear your baby's crying for you? Hey father, can't you see that your baby's so blue? If your love is so strong, why is she so alone?
