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
 Say you will

 When I was born, my mother died
 She said, "Bye-bye, baby, bye-bye"
 And since that day
 I've made 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.
