MAMA SAYS " LET ME BE" I WORKED ALL DAY. BUT THE CHILD STILL NEEDS HIS DAILY DOSE OF LOVE TO GROW. I DO IT ALL FOR YOU HE HEARS HIS MOTHER SAY. BUT LITTLE HEARTS STILL NEED THOSE HUGS AND KISSES DON'T YOU KNOW. chorus AND IT'S AS EASY AS TAKING CANDY FROM A BABY. AS OUT INNOCENT LITTLE SOLDIERS SHARE THE BRUNT OF ALL OUR STORMS. ' YOU'D THINK THAT IT WOULD DAWN UPON US MAYBE. THE ONES WHO NEED THE HEAT THE MOST ARE THE LAST ONES WE KEEP WARM. WHY IS IT THE ONES WE LOVE THE MOST ARE THE FIRST TO COME TO HARM. LITTLE FACES DON'T UNDERSTAND OR COMPLAIN ABOUT LIFE. THEY TAKE IT ALL IN EXCHANGE FOR THE LOVE WE HAVE TO SHARE. TRUSTING US TO KEEP THEM WARM AND SAFE THROUGH LONG NIGHTS. LONGING FOR THE MOMENTS WHEN WE SHOW HOW MUCH WE CARE. repeat chorus A QUICK STOP AT THE BAR TO TAKE THE LOAD OFF. CAUSE MONEY TO PAY THE BILLS IS GETTING SO DAMNED HARD TO FIND. CONVERSATION ABOUT INFLATION BEING NON STOP. AND IT COST THIRTY MORE DOLLARS TO ASK EACH OTHER HOW WE GOT THIS FAR BEHIND. repeat chorus DIVORCE CAN TAKE ITS TOLL AND LEAVE US LONELY. HANDLING THE SUDDEN EMPTINESS IS ALL THAT WE CAN DO. FEELING THAT THE PAIN AFFECTS US ONLY. SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO SEE WHAT OUR CHILDREN ARE GOING THROUGH. repeat chorus. ©STEVE PHELPS 1990 LITTLE SOLDIERS ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
