Dear Mom Lyrics - Joe Jackson

Dear Mom, I thought I found my sister 

Downtown, less than a week ago 

I called in, and some guy said I just missed her 

She moved on, where do you think she'd go? 

Dear Mom, I know she's only sixteen 

She's tough, but these days you never know 

Someone, saw her at the El Mocambo 

He said, she put on quite a show 

What if she won't come home 

You know she don't want your money 

What if she won't come home 

Dear Mom, I saw her on the subway 

She looks good, she got a new tattoo 

She swears, she's gonna call me later 

I'd say, there's nothing we can do 

What if she won't come home 

You know she don't want your money 

What if she won't come home 

Dear Mom, I heard from my little sister 

Guess what, she's really doing well 

She told me, to give you a message for her 

"Dear Mom, why don't you go to hell" 

Now that she won't come home 

Maybe I'll stick around here 

Now that she won't come home 

Now that she won't come home 

Maybe I'll stay forever 

Now that she won't come home
