Chorus: Mama when my dollies have babies And I am a big lady Mama will a prince come and take me away When I said these things I believed in kings Then I didn't know love could hurt me so Slowly she replied , tears had filled her eyes "Baby not so fast, let your young life last" (chorus) I sang to her in fun, my teens had just began My age was not the same, still we played this game Her eyes were filled with pride, slowly she replied "Soon enough you'll be a very pretty bride" Mama when my dollies have babies And I am a big lady Mama, will the hurt go away deep inside When I sang this song my whole world had gone wrong All my careful dreams had turned to crystal streams My love didn't last and now more years have past And left me just one thing: a tender voice that sings Mama when my dollies have babies And I am a big lady Mama
