Momma Please Don't Cry (Album Version) - Des'ree

作词：Des'ree

作曲：Des'ree

When your momma starts to scold you

She says it's 'cause I love you

Momma please don't cry

But it don't make matters better

When you resemble your father

And you learn that the alimonies run dry

Momma please don't cry

You know you never asked me why

I'll wipe the tears from your eyes

And hold you like you used to hold me

So she smiles but is she happy

She smiles but she ain't happy

Sadness still glistens in her eyes

When she thinks of that man

Who she gave most of her life to

In her heart she feels like she would die

Momma please don't cry

You know you never asked me why

I'll wipe the tears from your eyes

And hold you like you used to hold me

So you try to console her

She sees her baby's growing older

One day you'll rise up and take your leave

Then she'll stand by the window

Looking pale as a shadow

Words of love faintly echo in her ears

No no no momma please don't cry

You know you never asked me why

I'll wipe the tears from your eyes

And hold you like you used to hold me

I said And momma please don't cry

You know you never asked me why

I'll wipe the tears from your eyes

And hold you like you used to hold me
