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
B7 Baug Em Emadd9
Then I didn't know love could hurt me so
Am Amadd9 Em Esus4
Slowly she replied, tears had filled her eyes
B7 Baug Em
Baby not so fast let your young life last
[Chorus]

I sang to her in fun, my teens had just began
B7 Baug Em Emadd9
My age was not the same still we played this game
Am Amadd9 Em Esus4
Her eyes were filled with pride and slowly she replied
B7 Baug Em E E7
Soon enough you'll be a very pretty bride
[Chorus]

Mama, will the hurt go away deep inside?
[Verse]
Am Amadd9 F Fadd+11
When I sang this song, my whole world had gone wrong
E7 Eaug Am Amadd9
All my careful dreams had turned to crystal streams
Dm Dmadd9 Am Asus4
My love didn't last, and now more years have passed
E7 Eaug Am
Left with just one thing - a tender voice that sings
[Chorus]
Am Amadd9 Dm9 Dmadd9 Dm6 Eaug
Mama, when my dollies have babies and I am a big lady?
Am
Mama...
