The Phone Call

Hello, who's speaking? Mama, I didn't think it was you.
I've had a hard time reaching you.
Now mama, don't start crying, don't worry, I'm all right you see.
You know how he's mistreated me.

If I'd stayed at home, what would people say?
After all that's happened, it doesn't matter anyway.
Mama, your little girl gets lonely in a big old town like this.
I wish I had my teddy bear to sleep with.

But mama, how are you? Yes, I'll call you in a week or so.
My time is up, I'll have to go.
My time is up, I'll have to go.
