Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mama's gone and got herself a new man
It's a shame
He's the same
Mama, please, please
Stop pretending this time it won't end in tears
I find myself with a new daddy
My mama needs love, you see
Guess she don't wanna be lonely
[Verse 2]
And nobody's keeping score
I don't say hi to those guys no more
Mm-mmm
Said, Mama, can't you feel me
Holding my breath as they knock, knock, knock on our door?
[Verse 3]
You're just taking your ass to the top of that building
Throwing yourself under cars and trains
Taking the pill that you know will kill you
Under the wheels
The same, the same
[Verse 4]
Johnny's gone and got himself a new man
He gets laid
Every day
Johnny, please, please
Stop pretending
This time may just end in tears
Take care of yourself
'Cause you won't find "daddy"
When you're popping those pills
Oh Johnny, is the danger just part of the thrill?
[Verse 5]
And nobody's keeping score
Johnny, those guys that you shake it for
Mm-mmm
I said, Johnny, can't you hear them
Saying mama knows best
As they knock, knock, knock on your door?
[Verse 6]
You're just taking your ass to the top of that building
Throwing yourself under cars and trains
Taking the pill that you know will kill you
Under the wheels
The same, the same
[Verse 7]
Taking your ass to the top of that building
Throwing yourself under cars and trains
Taking the pill that you know will kill you
Under the wheels, wheels, wheels
[Verse 8]
Taking your ass to the top of that building
Under cars and trains
Taking the pill that you know will kill you
The same, the same, the same
[Verse 9]
Pretty girl, little girl, what were you thinking?
Just 18 at the time
You were a mother and child at the same time
You were a mother and child
So young and fucked up, baby
Always higher than a child should see, yeah
Forgive me
[Verse 10]
To the top of that building
Under cars and trains
Taking the pill that you know will kill you
Under the wheels, wheels, wheels
[Verse 11]
Taking your ass to the top of that building and
Throwing yourself under cars and trains
Taking the pill that you know will kill you
Under the wheels
The same, the same
[Verse 12]
(To the top of that building
Cars and trains
Take, taking that
Take, taking that
Wheels, wheels, wheels)
[Verse 13]
From bastard to loser
Hurt ya, used ya in every way
Mama, don't you let him stay
Please
Don't let him stay
[Verse 14]
I said, Jesus, Mary, the Saints above
Won't you show him love?
I said, Jesus, Mary, the Saints above
Won't you show him love?
[Verse 15]
(To the top of that building
Cars and trains
Take, taking that
Take, taking that
Wheels, wheels, wheels)
