When I was born, my mother died
She said bye bye baby bye bye
I said where are you going?
I've just born
She said I'll only be gone for a while
My mother loved to live in style
That's why God made the movies

So I layed around in my swadling clothes
Until the doctor came and turn out the light
Then I packed my bag, my name tag
And stole away into the night
Hoping things would work out right
That's why God made the movies

Say you will, say you will
Say you'll take me to your loving breast
Say you'll nourish me with your tenderness
The way the ladies sometimes do
Say you won't, say you won't
Say you won't leave me for another man
Say you'll love me just the way I am
Say you'll love me
Say you will, then say you will

When I was born, my mother died
She said bye bye baby bye bye
And since that day
I've paid my way
The notorious boy of the wild
Adopted by the wolves when he was a child
That's why God made the movies
