That's Why God Made The Movies Lyrics - Paul Simon

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 lights 

Then I packed my bag 

And my name tag 

I stole away into the night 

Hoping things would work out right

That's why God made the movies 

Say you will, say you will 

Say you'll take me to your lovin' 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, baby, now 

Say you will, just say you will 

Say you will

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 the wolves when he was a child 

That's why God. That's why God. 

That's why God made the movies
