I Can Never Go Home Anymore
Composer(s): George Morton
Performer(s): The Shangri-Las



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 (never) anymore
And that's called "sad"
