Luisa Verse 1 Where’s your Mama to hold you tight?
Rock you gently till you feel all right?
And who will keep you safe all through the night?
Segue1 And people walk on by now…
Like they’re preoccupied now.
So they hide their fear now
And maybe shed a tear now

Verse 2 Still a young boy, yet a man.
Tryin’ to sort it out and understand.
And no one bothers just to lend a hand.

Well something’s gone awry now.
Just can’t get involved now.
And thus their problems solved now.

There’s a piece of it that’s yours and mine.

What ever happens, boy, you’ve got a friend!
Verse 3 Broken hearted, and left alone.
Like my husband left me on my own.
