Lorraine Lyrics - Lorraine - Lori Mckenna

The kitchen smells like orange peels 

Her stomach turns like a spinning wheel 

Put the baby down in her little seat 

You should rest now mama you should eat 

It ain't right you been working all day 

All us kids getting in your way 

So she goes to bed as soon as the kitchen's clean 

That don't mean a thing to you but it does to me 

Well I don't know if this part is true 

How memories lie sometimes they do 

But I can see her in our living room 

With a smile on her face as she's dancing to 

Judy Garland, Carnegie Hall, Sunday April 23rd 

She said her cousin had a balcony seat 

And that don't mean a thing to you but it does to me

Oh Lord, am I good enough 

When this world spins as hard as it does 

And we both know how it shakes some people up 

So how did you decide to give me so much love 

Well, she never said a word to me 

About dying, about how she'd leave 

In all her pain she would never cry 

Me and my best friend Tina would ride our bikes 

From Lelland Road up Daily Drive 

We took a paper route one summer time 

Tina's mom said I was part of the family 

And that don't mean a thing to you but it does to me 

Oh Lord, am I good enough 

When this world spins as hard as it does 

And we both know how it shakes some people up 

So how did you decide to give me so much love, 

Love love, so much love, so much love 

Love love, you give me so much love, so much love

No one's had a bigger say 

In who I am today 

And I swear I've tried to be worthy of 

The name they gave me when I was young 

But I ain't that pretty, I ain't that brave 

My kids have seen me cry 

They should have given her name to my sister Marie 

And that don't mean a thing to you, 

That don't mean a thing to you 

But it does to me
