When I was born my mother died

She said, "Bye-bye baby, bye-bye"


I said, "Where you goin'?"


I'm just born




She said, "I'll only be gone for a while"


My mother loved to leave in style

That's why God made the movies





Well I laid around in my swaddling clothes

Until the doctor came and turned out the light


Then I packed my bag


With my nametag




And stole away into the night


Hoping things would work out alright

That's why God made the movies





Say you will, say you will

Say you'll take me to your loving breast


Say you'll nourish me with your tenderness


The way the ladies sometimes do




Say you won't, say you won't


Say you won't leave me for no other man

Say you'll love me just the way I am


Say you will, say you will to say you know


Say you know




When I was born my mother died


She said, "Bye-bye baby, bye-bye"

And since that day


I've made my way




The notorious boy of the wild


Adopted by wolves when he was a child


That's why God, that's why God

That's why God made the movies
