The Shangri-Las — I Can Never Go Home Any More

[Intro: Betty, Ganser Twins, & Mary] 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 [Verse 1: Mary] 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" [Verse 2: Mary] 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" [Verse 3: Mary & Betty and Ganser Twins] 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 [Bridge: Mary & Betty and Ganser Twins] Hush, little baby, don't you cry Mama won't go away Mama! You can never go home anymore Mama! No, I can never go home anymore [Verse 4: Mary & Betty and Ganser Twins] Do you ever get that feeling That 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 Never anymore And that's called "sad"
