I called you a sweet, boy You’re nothing but weak, boy You’re nothing but meek, boy
I called you a love, boy You’re all the above, boy You’re just not enough, boy
And I’ll blame your mother And I’ll blame your father Since you have a brother I’ll blame his mother
I wish I never laid my eyes On that pretty face of yours You have a heart that only a mother could love
I wanted a tree, boy But you gave me a leaf, boy It’s nothing to me, boy
I gave you the world, boy Without a return, boy And now I’m just hurt, boy
And I’ll blame your mother And I’ll blame your father Now I’m left to wonder What dragged me under
I wish I never laid my eyes On that pretty face of yours You have a heart that only a mother could love And I wish I never laid my eyes on you You have a broken heart that I could never touch
I planted a seed, boy Now you watch it grow, boy Long after I leave, boy Long after I leave
I’ll blame your mother And I’ll blame your father Since you have a brother I’ll blame his mother
I wish I never laid my eyes On that pretty face of yours You have a heart that only a mother could love And I wish I never laid my eyes on you You have a broken heart that I could never touch
I gave you the world, boy Without a return, boy Now I’m just hurt, boy
