I Can Never Go Home Any More Lyrics

[Intro: Mary, Betty, Ganser Twins]
I'm gonna hide if she don't leave me alone
I'm gonna run away (Don't!)
'Cause you can never go home anymore
Listen, does this sound familiar?

[Verse 1: Mary]
You wake up every morning
Go to school every day
Spend your nights on the corner
Just passing the time away
Your life is so lonely
Like a child without a toy
Then a miracle, a boy
And that's called "glad"

[Verse 2: Mary]
Now my mom is a good mom
And she loves me with all her heart
But she said I was too young to be in love
And the boy and I would have to part
And no matter how I ranted and raved
I screamed, I pleaded, I cried
She told me it was not really love
But only my girlish pride
And that's called "bad"

[Refrain: Mary & Betty and Ganser Twins]
Never go home anymore
Now if that's happened to you, don't let this

[Verse 3: Mary]
I packed my clothes
And left home that night
Though she begged me to stay
I was sure I was right
And you know something funny?
I forgot that boy right away
Instead, I remember being tucked in bed
And hearing my mama say

[Bridge: Betty & Ganser Twins, Mary]
Hush, little baby, don't you cry
Mama won't go away (Mama)
But you can never go home anymore (Mama)
No, I can never go home anymore

[Verse 4: Mary]
Do you ever get that feeling
You wanna kiss and hug her?
Do it now
Tell her you love her
Don't do to your mom
What I did to mine
She grew so lonely in the end
Angels picked her for their friend

[Outro: Mary, Betty & Ganser Twins]
Never and I can never go home
Never anymore
And that's called "sad"
