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 light | Then I packed my bag | And my nametag | And 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 loving 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 Tacet | 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 paid 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 Repeat and fade: |
