I woke after dark today I think I've done something to upset the stars again The moon won't return my calls But I deserve it I deserve it all And if you told me That it would be this hard I never would have let my mother put me down I'd make her hold me And woe betide if one of my selfish feet Touched the ground My plants are mad at me They say That I'm an unfit mother And they should be taken away My darlings, I'm so sorry That's all on me It was I who made you stay Cause I was lonely Am I the only one To feel this way I deserve it all the same And if you told me That it would be this hard I never would have let my mother put me down I'd make her hold me And woe betide if one of my selfish feet Touched the ground And if you told me That life would go downhill I would have made her hold me Til her bones were tired Better her than I And woe betide That one of my Selfish feet touched the ground
