THE STORY:
The second time I recorded this song was as melancholy as the first. This time I added “Mary Had A Little Lamb”.
THE LYRICS:
My first memory as a child
Was standing on the porch between my mom and
my dad
They were getting a divorce and said to pick
who I like better
What was I do to?
Child…what an awful thing to do to a child
I remember the first time
I met my mom’s new boyfriend
In the apartment hallway
He looked so tall dark and scary to this five
year old
And I felt hate for him since the very first
day
Child…what an awful thing to do to a child
I’ve always hated my younger brother
I could always relate better to girls
When the hospital called up and said it wasn’t
a girl
But a boy with my mom’s new husband’s name
I said “I don’t want this child in my life
I don’t want this child…”
I did an awful thing to that child.
Well I wonder what it’s like to live with a
father
Have the father I never knew
I guess maybe someday when I’m older
That man will call me up if he remembers my name
And I’ll say
“Where were you when I was a child?
I’m not a child anymore….
Don’t come knocking on my door—I don’t need you
Where were you when I was a child?
