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.

That's why God made the movies
