I Can Never Go Home Anymore:The Shangri-Las.
#4 in 1964.
(Capo 2nd fret.)
INTRO:
I'm gonna hide...if she don't leave me alone.
I'm gonna run a...way...(Don't!)
Cause you can never..go home, anymore.
Listen..Does this sound familiar?
#1.
You wake up every morning, go to school every day..
spend your nights on the corner, just passing the time away.
Your life is so lonely, like a child without a toy.
Then, a miracle..a boy...And that's called 'glad.'
#2.
Now, my Mom is a good Mom and she loves me with all
her heart.
But she said I was too young to be in love, and the boy
and I would have to part.
And no matter how I ranted and raved...I screamed,
I pleaded, I cried..
she told me it was not really love, but only my
girlish pride. And that's called 'bad.'
(Never...go home anymore.)
Now, if that's happened to you, don't let this...
#3.
I packed my clothes and left home that night.
Though she begged me to stay, I was sure I was right.
And you know something funny? I forgot that boy right away.
Instead I remember being tucked in bed and hearing my Mama say...
'Hush, little baby, don't you cry...Mama won't go away.'Mama!
You can never go home anymore..Mama!
No, I can never go home anymore.
#4.
Do you ever get that feeling and wanna kiss and hug her?
Do it now..tell her you love her.
Don't do to your Mom what I did to mine.
She grew so lonely in the end..Angels picked her for a friend.
And I can never go home, anymore..
And that's called 'sad.'
