mamma says come come come to me
here's a place for you over in my heart
you've got so much to learn, so much to give
and it's in the palm of your hand

mamma says come come come to me
should you find there's a lover in your heart
in this sweet life of yours, may come a time
when you're caught off your guard to declare

oh pity
that my friend we've been drawn away
and my friend by the dawn of day
we'll be long on our way

papa says come come come to me
would you like to be father for a day
here's to the ones to love, and here's to the days
when the kids were the kings of my castle

papa says come come come to me
should you find there's a lover in your heart
it could be over, don't be alarmed
on the day that you have to declare

oh pity
that my friend we've been drawn away
and my friend by the dawn of day
we'll be long on our way

pity, oh
that my friend we've been drawn away
and my friend by the dawn of day
we'll be long on our way

would you come to me
would you follow me
would it be right
if tomorrow I cannot know who your are

would you instead of just sit there
be a part of me
would you be mine
and just love me my love

oh pity
that my love we've been drawn away
and my love we must separate
