That's Why God Made The Movies

When I was born

My mother died

She said, “Bye bye, baby, bye bye

I said, “Where you goin?

I'm just born

She said, “I'll only be gone for a while”

My mother loved to leave in style

That's why God made the movies

Well, I laid around

In my swaddling clothes

Until the doctor came and turned out the lights

Then I packed my bag

And my name tag

I stole away into the night

Hoping things would work out right

That's why God made the movies

Say you will! Say you will!

Say you'll take me to your lovin' breast

Say you'll nourish me

With your tenderness

The way the ladies sometimes do

Say you won't! Say you won't!

Say you won't leave me for no other man

Say you'll love me just the way I am

Say you will baby, now

Say you will, just say you will

When I was born

My mother died

She said, “Bye bye, baby, bye bye

And since that day

I've paid my way

The notorious boy of the wild

Adopted by the wolves

When he was a child.

That's why God

That's why God

That's why God made the movies
