Mutlu - Mama’s Not Coming Home lyrics

rate me

She was a kid when her boy was born

Love made a beautiful child

Time carried on now her heart’s been torn

Between love and her will to provide

She leaves him alone by the TV light

Eating outa tin from the fridge

Waits for the train, disappears in the night

Over the Brooklyn Bridge

Mama’s not coming home tonight

There’s a tear welling up in her eye

All that she wants is a better life to provide

She packs a bag with her loving hands

Sends him to school with a kiss

Heads off to work at the coffee stand

Later she works the third shift

She’s always seen that the cupboard is full

With patience and care for his needs

Still buys the lotto card pays all the bills

And hangs on to her dreams

Mama’s not coming home tonight

There’s a tear welling up in her eye

All that she wants is a better life to provide

Someday you’ll be a man

And love may find your way

I hope that you’ll understand

Sometimes life’s got other plans

Still buys the lotto card, pays all the bills

And hangs on to her dreams

Mama’s not coming home tonight

There’s a tear welling up in her eye

All that she wants is a better life to provide

Mama’s not coming home tonight

You could see by the look in her eye

She said we’re gonna make us a better life

Then she smiles
