Mommy Can I Come Home Lyrics - The Door - Keb Mo

Mommy can I come home? 

Mommy can I come home? 

Don't hang up before I have the chance to say I'm sorry 

Are you listening? 

There's no excuse for what I said to you 

You probably don't miss me 

Mommy can I come home? 

I'm tired, hungry and alone 

He told me he'd loved me 

Then he showed me how to love him before he beat me 

Turned me out at night, the car slowing down 

He paid the price, well, it was easy 

Mommy the streets are cold 

I'm too young to feel so old 

Ballerina wallpaper across my room 

Teddy bears and pillows on my bed 

Passed a woman on the street who looked like you 

I remember then everything you said 

Mommy can I come home? 

I've run as far as I can go 

Would it be all right if I stopped by 

For a minute just to see you? 

How about tonight when daddy's home? 

I really need to see you 

Mommy can I come home? 

Mommy can I come home? 

Mommy can I? 

Mommy don't cry
