Put the girls up for adoption

Remember what a mess you were?

Though he made mistakes

I think we came out alright

Tell me is Annalisa coming?

Oh Mama, I could cry

How the years flew by, they're out of time

She put a finger to her lips

A strong arm 'round my waist

She said, "Now lay your head

Here upon my shoulder, let the rain come down

People only do just what they want to do

Honey, it's not up to you"

Ma, it's good to see you

I know that he'd be glad you came

Do you think they tried to make it right?

She grabbed me by my chin

And then looked straight into my face

She said, "Now lay your head

Here on my shoulder, let the rain come down

People only do just what they want to do

It's all that they can do"

Now lay your head

Right here upon my shoulder let the rain fall down

People only do just what they want to do

It's not up to you

And someday baby girl

We're gonna sit here all together

Just the three of us

Somewhere close your papa will be proud

Lay your head here on me

And let the rain come down

Darling, don't you see?

They only do what they do

Sugar, it's not up to you

Oh, oh, yeah, yeah

Rest your brow

Right here on my shoulder, let those tears come down

'Cause what they want to do

Is not up to you, is not up to you
