How come you've hit that final chapter
 So young, your days of being free
 And I'm all for happy ever after
 Just be sure it's where you want to be
 Baby, if you know what's right
 You'll spend another year with Mama
 Next thing you know your life's being
 Taking it forever gone
 Why you wanna be like that?
 I'll love you till the end no matter
 Just don't leave yourself behind
 Please promise you won't be saying you should
 Please that you could be gone
 I guess you're poised to take your chances
 You know it's harder to agree
 Just be sure that you know what the catch is
 There's no cure for failed hopes and dreams
 Baby, if you know what's right
 You'll spend another year with Mama
 Next thing you know your life's being
 Taking it forever gone
 Why you wanna be like that?
 I'll love you till the end no matter
 Just don't leave yourself behind
 Please promise me you won't be saying you should
 Please that you could be gone
 Baby, if you know what's right
 You'll spend another year with Mama
 Next thing you know your life's being
 Taking it forever gone
 Why you wanna be like that?
 I'll love you till the end no matter
 Just don't leave yourself behind
 Please promise me you won't miss home
 Baby, if you know what's right
 You'll spend another year with Mama
 Next thing you know your life's being
 Taking it forever gone
 Why you wanna be like that?
 I'll love you till the end no matter
 Just don't leave yourself behind
 Please promise me you won't be saying you should
 Please that you could be gone
