Sorry Charlie

Hair full of cowlicks out of control
his mother used Vitalis super super hold
it's true kids can be so cruel
loogies on his coat and charlie never knew
he was a full-time mama's boy in second hand clothes
i heard a little school girl punched him in the nose
well that mary just ran away and charlie walked home alone another day

I just can't believe it
these wounds are never healing
took him to a dark place
i seen the look on his mother's face
sorry charlie for all your pain and your misery
but your mother loved you
more than any other mother could do
sorry charlie - sorry charlie

One cold day on the street where i lived
yard work and i was muddy like a pig

i heard the laughter and turned for the scorn
charlie with a girl, he up and threw a coin
well i had compassion and i had enough
so i taught that kid a lesson cuz he wasn't very tough
in a trash can he let out a cry
his mother took his side with fire in her eyes

I just can't believe it
these wounds are never healing
took him to a dark place
i seen the look on his mother's face
sorry charlie for all your pain and your misery
but your mother loved you
more than any other mother could do

sorry charlie - sorry
sorry charlie for all your pain and your misery
but your mother loved you
more than any other mother could do
