Shangri-Las - I Can Never Go Home Anymore Lyrics

I'm gonna hide
If she don't leave me alone
I'm gonna run away
Don't

'Cause you can never go home anymore

Listen, does this sound familiar?
You wake up every morning
Go to school every day
Spend your nights on the corner

Just passing the time away
Your life is so lonely like a child without a toy
Then a miracle, a boy and that's called 'glad'

Now my mom is a good mom
And she loves me with all her heart
But she said, "I was too young to be in love"
And the boy and I would have to part

And no matter how I ranted and raved
I screamed, I pleaded, I cried
She told me it was not really love
But only my girlish pride and that's called 'bad'

Never go home anymore

Now if that's happened to you, don't let this
I packed my clothes and left home that night
Though she begged me to stay
I was sure I was right

And you know something funny?
I forgot that boy right away
Instead I remember being tucked in bed
And hearing my mama say

(Hush, little baby, don't you cry)
(Mama won't go away)
Mama

(You can never go home anymore)
Mama
I can never go home anymore

Do you ever get that feeling
And wanna kiss and hug her?
Do it now, tell her you love her

Don't do to your mom what I did to mine
She grew so lonely in the end
Angels picked her for a friend

(Never)
And I can never go home anymore
(Never)
And that's called sad
