When I was born my mother died

She said, "Bye-bye baby, bye-bye"

I said, "Where you goin'?"

I'm just born She said, "I'll only be gone for a while"

My mother loved to leave in style

That's why God made the movies Well I laid around in my swaddling clothes

Until the doctor came and turned out the light

Then I packed my bag

With my nametag And stole away into the night

Hoping things would work out alright

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 no other man

Say you'll love me just the way I am

Say you will, say you will to say you know

Say you know When I was born my mother died

She said, "Bye-bye baby, bye-bye"

And since that day

I've made my way The notorious boy of the wild

Adopted by wolves when he was a child

That's why God, that's why God

That's why God made the movies
