Mama, when my dollies have babies
And I am a big lady,
Mama, will a prince come and take me away?
When I said these things, I believed in kings.
Then I didn't know love could hurt me so
Slowly she replied, tears had filled her eyes:
"Baby, not so fast; let your young life last."
Mama, when my dollies have babies
And I am a big lady,
Mama, will a prince come and take me away?
I sang to her in fun, my teens had just began.
My age was not the same, still we played this game.
Her eyes were filled with pride, slowly she replied:
"Soon enough you'll be a very pretty bride!"
Mama, when my dollies have babies
And I am a big lady,
Mama, will the hurt go away deep inside?
When I sang this song, my whole world had gone wrong
All my childhood dreams had turned to crystal streams
My love didn't last and now more tears have passed
And left me just one thing: a tender voice that sings...
Mama, when my dollies have babies
And I am a big lady,
Mama...
