VERSE 1
Dm F Bb
Mamas put your babies to sleep,
C Bb C
story too cruelsome for them this is.
Dm F Bb
In Junior High she said goodbye,
C Bb C
to her parents and ran away with a boy.
Gm F C Dm
She left her family warm and kind,
Gm F C Dm
all of her friends said "You´re out of your mind".
C Dm
Life of her own she would find,
Gm Bb A
it´s Monday and she´s gotta grind.
VERSE 2

A job as a waitress she sure was to find,
C Bb C
beautiful face, mind of a child.
Dm F Bb
Boy got her pregnant, Mary-Lou cried,
C Bb C
"For this I am too young oh why did you lie?"
Gm F C Dm
You said "It´s okay if we do it today",
Gm F C Dm
I was so scared that you would go away.
C Dm
"Despite all the papers been signed,
Gm F A
mama take me back be so kind".
CHORUS
Dm C F
Only a child, reckless and wild,
Bb C Dm
needs to come home again.
C Bb F C Dm
He promised the moon but won´t marry you.
C F
Nothing to do, eating for two,
Bb C Dm
he´s goin´ out with someone new.
C Gm
Sunshine or rain, it´s all the same,
F C Dm
life isn´t gray oh Mary-Lou.
VERSE 3
Dm F Bb
Mamas do your children still sleep,
C Bb C
in the safe of their cradles so sweet.
Dm F Bb
Story I told you I have foreseen,
C Bb C
your little angel ain´t always so clean.
Gm F C Dm
Days to come aren´t easy to see,
Gm F C Dm
you can change ´em but it isn´t free.
C Dm
I see that you don´t believe,
Gm F C Dm
ooo-oo, but you will see.

| Well, I think it's pretty obvuious what the song is about. It's about this girl 'Mary'Lou' who leaves her family behind to go out with this boy she met in Junior High. He got her pregnant and then he leaves her. He told her he'd give her everything but when he found out she's having his baby, he dumps her. Then she's eating for two (Her and her baby) and she wants to go home to her family. Just what I think it means. | |

| Actually, when he says "life isn't gray", I think he means that there is joy in life. Though she was knocked up, betrayed, and dumped, it's still not too late for her to get her life together and make it happy. | |
