Joe Jackson - Dear Mom lyrics

Dear Mom - I thought I found my sister

Downtown - less than a week ago

I called in - and some guy said I just missed her

She moved on - where do you think she'd go?

Dear Mom - I know she's only sixteen

She's tough - but these days you never know

Someone - saw her at the El Mocambo

He said - she put on quite a show

What if she won't come home

You know she don't want your money

What if she won't come home

Dear Mom - I saw her on the subway

She looks good - she got a new tattoo

She swears - she's gonna call me later

I'd say - there's nothing we can do

What if she won't come home

You know she don't want your money

What if she won't come home

Dear Mom - I heard from my little sister

Guess what - she's really doing well

She told me - to give you a message for her

"Dear Mom - why don't you go to hell"

Now that she won't come home

Maybe I'll stick around here

Now that she won't come home

Now that she won't come home

Maybe I'll stay forever

Now that she won't come home
