How Can I Tell My Mom And Dad

How can I tell my mom and dad

That I've been bad?

How can I tell my mom and dad

That I've been bad?

Will they understand

How much I love that man?

And oh, will they ever know

How much he's hurt me so?

I know I was a fool

To be loved by you

But I've got to find a way

But what can I say?

(Somebody please) How can I tell my mom and dad

(Help me explain, help me explain) That I've been bad?

(This misery) How can I tell my mom and dad

(Oh, please) That I've been bad?

He told me that he loved me

And that our love was true

Oh, but when he made me mother-to-be

He disappeared on me

Now I'm so ashamed

'Cause you quit the game

And left me here to be

In all this misery

(Somebody, please) How can I tell my mom and dad

(Help me explain, help me explain) That I've been bad?

(This misery) How can I tell my mom and dad

(Oh, please) That I've been bad?

Should I go up to mama

And say, "Guess what I've done?" (No-no)

Or disappear in the night

And let them notice I'm gone? (No-no)

Or should I go out and do

Somethin' I wouldn't want to? (No-no)

Or stand up like a big girl

And I'll tell 'em about me and you?

(Somebody please) How can I tell my mom and dad

(Help me explain, help me explain) That I've been bad?

Or should I go out and do

Somethin' I wouldn't want to? (No-no)

Or stand up like a big girl

And I'll shout about me and you?
