Mama there are things
that you don't
undertstand about me
or maybe you do
and just turn your head
cause you cant bare to see
your baby girl
make the same mistakes
like a gambler who never wins
but your littlest angel
has skinned up her knee again
mama why do I fall for the desperatos
just like the ones youve known before
and why do I always fall
for the games people play
the games that leave my heart so bruised and sore
and why do they always say I love you
and I beleive
why do they always find
a reason to leave
anyway mama why do they leave
mama i tried I really tried
I gave all that I could
I guess I didnt do well enough
in all the ways I should
but mama if youll tell me now
how to keep my head in check
my heart is breakin 90 to nothing
and i think im fixin to wreck
mama Im tired
of my heart breaking
im always givin
they"re always taking
my heart hits on Bust
with a throw of the Dice
an ace in the hole would
really be nice
When I hear I love you
I wanna believe
anyway
mama why do they leave
