I called you a sweet boy
You're nothing but weak, boy
You're nothing but meek, bo-o-oy
I called you a loud boy
You're only a bad boy
You're just not enough, bo-o-oy
And I'll blame your mother
And I'll blame your father
Since you have a brother
I'll blame his mother
And I wish I never laid my eyes
On that pretty face of yours
You have a heart that only a mother could love
I wanted a tree, boy
But you gave me a leaf, boy
It's nothing to me, bo-o-oy
I gave you the world, boy
Without a return, boy
Now I'm just hurt, bo-o-oy
And I'll blame your mother
And I'll blame your father
Now I'm left to wonder
What dragged me under
And I wish I never laid my eyes
On that pretty face of yours
You have a heart that only a mother could love
And I wish I never laid my eyes on you
You have a broken heart that I could never touch
I planted a seed, boy
Now you watch it grow, boy
Long after I leave, boy
Long after I leave
I'll blame your mother
And I'll blame your father
Since you have a brother
I'll blame his mother
And I wish I never laid my eyes
On that pretty face of yours
You have a heart that only a mother could love
And I wish I never laid my eyes on you
You have a broken heart that I could never touch
I gave you the world, boy
Without a return, boy
Now I'm just hurt, bo-o-oy
